Frank Chodorov
ISI Founder & President (1955-1962)

Following a career in academia, Frank Chodorov founded analysis, a monthly four-page journal that at first published only his own personal reflections on perennial concerns. His exposure through analysis gained him an editorial position at Human Events. In these two publications, Chodorov wrote of his vision to restore the American academy and laid the groundwork for the founding of ISI. A mentor to William F. Buckley, Chodorov was also a frequent contributor to National Review until his death in 1962.
