Rowland Egger was a member of the Politics Department—at that time, the Department of Government and Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia. He lived from 1908 to 1979, and left a legacy to the Department. His main field was public administration, and he was author of many important books, including The Organization of Peace at the administrative level (1945) and Research, Education, and Regionalism: The Bureau of Public Administration of the University of Alabama, 1938-1948, (1949). Although his field was public administration, his generosity has allowed the political theory program at the University to bring a series of distinguished speakers to the University, to deliver Rowland Egger Memorial Lectures.
