As part of the Center’s 25th anniversary celebrations, we are proud to share the first half of John L. Weinberg’s 1948 Princeton thesis on corporate directorship—available now on SSRN.
The thesis, long stored in university archives, explores the responsibilities and dynamics of corporate boards in an era that presaged modern governance debates. It is a featured element of our forthcoming book, Boardroom Legacy, and offers enduring insight into the philosophy and values that defined both John and his father, Sidney J. Weinberg, and which continue to animate corporate governance today.
