Bernard Baruch (1870-1965) was an American statesman who
served as an advisor to U.S. presidents Woodrow Wilson,
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. He served on
numerous political councils including the War Industries
Board and the Advisory Commission to the Council of
National Defense. Baruch was an active alumnus of his alma
mater, the School of Business and Civil Administration of
the College of the City of New York, and the school was
later renamed the Bernard M. Baruch School of Business and
Public Administration in 1953 in honor of Baruch. Baruch
donated Chinese ceramics to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
after his death in 1965.
