It was Andreas Papandreou, later to become Greek prime minister and father of the Andreas Papandreou, the current prime mnister, whom I was called to meet during my senior year at Cal-Berkeley (1959) and who offered me the two year fellowship at Cambridge with $5,000 stipend per year. In jest I suggested the stipend should be $10,000 due to the hardship of living abroad! I then thanked him and explained that I had already determined to follow a business career and it would be better to give the fellowship to another who would follow a career in economics.
WIKIPEDIA: …In 1943, [Andreas] Papandreou received a PhD in Economics from Harvard University. Immediately after getting his PhD, Papandreou joined America’s war effort and volunteered for the US Navy where he served as a hospital corpsman at the Bethesda Naval Hospital for war wounded,[9] and became a United States citizen. He returned to Harvard in 1946 and served as a lecturer and associate professor until 1947. He then held professorships at the University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, the University of California, Berkeley (where he was chair of the Department of Economics)…
