Biographical/Historical note

John Hunt was Associate Director for Public Affairs at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1977 until 1982. In 1979 he replaced Minot Morgan as Secretary of the Corporation, and held that position until he left the Institute in 1982. He served under IAS Director Harry Woolf. John Hunt's wife, Chantal Loiseau Hunt, was research assistant to George F. Kennan.

The Report of the Director in the 1982 Annual Report of the Institute for Advanced Study noted:

"John Hunt, Associate Director and Secretary of the Corporation, resigned to become Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of BioTechnica International, Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts, a firm which specializes in recombinant DNA research. John Hunt came to the Institute in 1977 from the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies and contributed his extensive energies and abilities to strengthening the Institute in many ways, and most notably in helping to plan the Einstein Centennial Celebration, the establishment of the Fiftieth Anniversary Fund, and the publication of a series of annual reports as well as A Community of Scholars, the volume which summarizes the activities of Faculty and visiting members here for the first fifty years. He was succeeded by Patricia H. Labalme, a Renaissance scholar with considerable administrative experience."
