Biographical Note
Paul Louis Beckett, Professor of Political Science at Washington State
University from 1947 to 1977, was born October 18, 1913, at Warren County,
Illinois. He completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1935 at Monmouth College, a
Master of Arts at the University of Illinois in 1938, and a Doctor of
Philosophy at the University of California at Los Angeles in 1949. Beckett was
employed in municipal government in Los Angeles during the early 1940s, and
also worked in a war-time administrative agency in Washington D.C. From 1945 to
1947 he was on the faculty of the University of New Mexico, and in 1947 he
began his employment with the Political Science faculty of Washington State
College.
