Notes - Macy Millmore Skinner graduated from Harvard University in 1894 (PhD). He attended the University of Heidelberg in Germany, probably studying economics. He apparently became well respected, worldwide, as an economist. From 1895 to 1914, he was professor in the German Department at Stanford University (California). A scandal (see doc1, doc2, doc3, doc4) forced him to resign suddenly in August 1914. He went to China where he was an economic advisor to Sun Yat-Sen. He came back to America, and went on to the University of Washington where he was Business Professor in the Economics Department and Dean of Men.

Macy Millmore Skinner, 1894-1918
After graduation, I continued my work in the Graduate School and made my PH.D. in Semitic Languages and Literature in 1897. I went abroad on a Rogers Fellowship, and spent one year at Strassburg, and one at Berlin. On my return, finding that the prospect of making satisfactory progress in the teaching profession in my line was not a brilliant one, I changed to German, for which I had always had a strong liking. I was appointed Instructor in German at Harvard and remained there for six years, that is, until the spring of 1905, when I was called to Stanford University, Cal., as Assistant Professor of German. My family and I spent the year 1911-12 in Germany. In the months of August and September, 1911, I represented Stanford University at the centennial festivities of the universities of Beslau, Germany, and Christiania, Norway. During my absence, I was advanced to Associate Professor of German at Stanford. Having always had a strong desire to see the Orient, I gave up my position at Stanford in 1914 and sailed for China, where I spent two years in educational work. On my return in 1916, I was appointed to teach Chinese in the University of Washington, where I am at present located.
Early in the year 1917, when it looked as though the U.S. would enter the war, I joined a Military C
