Francis (Frantisek) Schwarzenberg, Professor Emeritus of Loyola University of Chicago, was born in Prague on March 24, 1913. He studied law and political science at Charles University in Prague and at Ecole Libre des Sciences Politique in Paris, receiving his doctoral degree in 1938 in Prague. He was one of the leaders of those aristocrats in Czechoslovakia who declared themselves in 1939 as identifying “under all circumstances” with the Czech nation. A confiscation of some of his family properties by the Nazis followed. In May 1945 he took part in the Prague uprising and in the negotiations of the German capitulation in the city. He was appointed charge d’affairs of the Czechoslovak legation at Vatican in 1946. He resigned after February 1948 and came with his family to the United States. Until 1979 he taught political science at Loyola University in Chicago. Dr. Schwarzenberg has been a prominent member of many Czechoslovak emigre organizations, especially of the Czechoslovak National Council in America. He was one of the initiators and very productive members of the SVU, becoming the President of the Society for the period of 1972-1974. After his retirement he moved to Vienna where he continues active in promoting free Czechoslovak culture.
