Francis B. Sayre

Francis B. Sayre

Francis Bowes Sayre (April 30, 1885 – March 29, 1972) was a professor at Harvard Law School. He later served as ambassador to Siam, High Commissioner of the Philippines, U.S. representative to the United Nations Trusteeship Council, and Assistant Secretary of State for President Franklin Roosevelt. Sayre's immediate subordinate in his capacity of Assistant Secretary of State was Alger Hiss, although Sayre declined to testify as a character witness for the defense at Hiss's perjury trials.

On 26 November 1913, he married Jessie Wilson (1887-1933), the daughter of President Woodrow Wilson, in a ceremony at the White House. His son, Francis B. Sayre, Jr., was later the dean of the National Cathedral in Washington.
