An expert in international relations, Mr. Wilcox spent his career in education and Government service. Before going to Washington in 1942, he had taught political science at the University of Louisville. He returned to education in 1961, when he resigned as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs to become dean of Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in Washington. He was made dean emeritus in 1973. In 1975, he became director general of the Atlantic Council, a group dedicated to promoting closer ties within the NATO alliance. Before going to the State Department, Mr. Wilcox served as the first chief of staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, from 1947 to 1955. He guided the committee's initiatives on the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Marshall Plan. Majid Khadduri, 98, founding faculty member of the Middle East studies program at the Johns Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies. One of the pioneers of Middle East and Islamic studies in the United States, he made a number of contributions to the study of the Arab world, particularly Islamic law and jurisprudence, the politics and history of Iraq, and the role of personalities in the Middle East. He knew many of the political and intellectual leaders he wrote about, and many of his students went on to become prominent diplomats, journalists, scholars and civil servants, both in the United States and in the Arab world.
