Raymond Moley PhD '18 was a professor of political science at Barnard, joining the faculty there in 1923. He assisted Franklin Delano Roosevelt with his presidential election campaign and later became part of that president's influential Brain Trust, helping to recruit other Columbia-affiliated professors to the cause. He took credit for naming the "New Deal" and for "saving capitalism," but later broke with FDR, became a rabid conservative, and criticized the president's policies.
