Christian Herter

Biography

American diplomat and Republican politician who was the 59th Governor of Massachusetts from 1953 to 1957 and United States Secretary of State from 1959 to 1961. He served as president of the board of trustees at the Dexter School from 1937 to 1939. His moderate tone of negotiations was confronted by the intensity of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in a series of unpleasant episodes that turned the Cold War even colder in 1960–1961.

He was born in France to American artist and expatriate parents, Albert Herter and Adele McGinnis. He married the wealthy heiress Mary Caroline Pratt (1895–1980) in 1917. They had three sons and one daughter, including Christian A. Herter, Jr., who was active in international relations. He died on 30 December 1966 at his home in Washington, D.C. at the age of 71.
