Definition

  • Frank Johnson Goodnow (1859–1939) was an American professor of administrative law and political science, a university president, and a progressive social reform advocate. Cofounder and first elected president of the American Political Science Association, he is considered the “father of public administration.” His prolific scientific work—he authored a dozen books and more than sixty articles—did not preclude him from engaging in frequent public service efforts.
