Members of the political science department, students and friends are seeking to launch a College scholarship in honor of long-time faculty member Joseph Rothschild '51, who died on January 30, 2000. One of the nation's leading authorities on modern East Central Europe, Rothschild spent his entire 45-year teaching career at Columbia, where he was a devoted teacher of Contemporary Civilization and the co-editor of the text used for many years in the Core course.

Rothschild held the Class of 1919 Chair in Political Science, given to a faculty member dedicated to undergraduate teaching. Among the honors he received were the Award for Distinguished Service to the Core Curriculum, the Mark Van Doren Award for Great Teaching, and the Society of Columbia Graduates' Great Teacher Award.
