Carroll Quigley
 |
Carroll Quigley (November 9, 1910 – January 3, 1977) was a historian and professor of history at Georgetown University from 1941 to 1976.
Quigley was born in Boston, where he attended school and later received both undergraduate degrees and a doctorate from nearby Harvard University.
At Georgetown University, Quigley joined the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, where he taught the course, Development of Civilization. This was to make a strong impression on many of his students, including the future U.S. President Bill Clinton, who named Quigley as an important influence during his acceptance speech to the 1992 Democratic National Convention.
In addition to his academic work, Quigley was a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Navy, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration, which went on to establish NASA.
