From the Yale archives:
Dwight W. (Whitney) Morrow, Jr., was born November 28, 1908, the only son of Elizabeth Cutter and Dwight W. Morrow. He was educated at Groton School, Groton, Massachusetts, and spent the summer after graduation working in St. John's, Newfoundland, for the International Grenfell Association. He graduated from Amherst College in 1933, received an MA and PhD from Harvard, and attended Yale Law School from 1936 to 1938.

In 1928, he suffered his first episode of mental illness and was withdrawn from Groton School by his parents. Through treatment and his work in Newfoundland, he recovered sufficiently and began his freshman year at Amherst. He continued to struggle with mental illness, however, and received treatment, including multiple hospital stays, throughout his life. He was diagnosed as having paranoid-schizophrenia. Despite his mental illness, Morrow led a productive life as an educator. He taught at Lincoln University and Temple University. He was a cofounder of The Monterey Institute of International Studies, established in 1955. He also managed two ranches in Carmel Valley, California. In 1937, he married Margot Loines with whom he had three children. In 1970, he married Nancy Schallert Lofton of Carmel, California. He died April 9, 1976.
