Abstract: Prior to World War II, American interest in international studies existed primarily outside the university. Missionaries and their redomesticated offspring, foreign cor respondents, members of the Foreign Service, and free-lance writers figured far more prominently in the American in ternational studies community than did academics who recognized the need to maintain close ties with non-academic audiences. These ties became unraveled after World War II when academic international studies experienced tremendous growth, but they must be reknit if international studies is to remain a vital intellectual enterprise in the era of the post expansionary university.
