Was the Assistant Secretary of state from 1931 to 1933, appointed by Herbert Hoover.
The death of James Grafton Rogers on April 23, 1971 marked the close of perhaps the most varied career of any native of Colorado, a career which extended its influence, however, far beyond the limits of that state — nationally and even internationally. A list of his accomplishments, honors and creations would be much too long tor this memorial. He achieved pre-eminence as a lawyer, public servant, civic leader, international financier, diplomat, expert in military intelligence, historian, teacher, educational administrator, author, researcher, playwright, song writer, leader of men and inspiration of youths.
Jim Rogers, through his influence with Secretary of War Stimson, under whom he had served as Assistant Secretary of State in the Hoover Administration, and his long term friendship with General Marshall, then Chief of Staff, helped break a bureaucratic log jam which led to approval of the creation of the famed 10th Mountain Division, the elite group of highly trained mountaineering troops who learned their trade at Camp Hale in Colorado, drove up the chain of Apennines under the terrible conditions and broke into the valley of the Po.
Rogers was born on January 13, 1883 in Denver, Colorado to Edmund James Armstrong Rogers (1852-1922) and Maria Georgina Dare.
Rogers was a professor of law and dean of the University of Colorado School of Law from 1928-1931, and 1933-35.
He was the western vice president of the American Alpine Club from 1932 to 1934, and president of the American Alpine Club from 1938 to 1940.
Rogers died of a stroke on April 23, 1971 in Denver, Colorado.
