Francis Atherton Bean III, known as Atherton Bean, was born on September 14, 1910, in New Prague, Minnesota. His parents were Francis Atherton and Bertha Boynton Bean. He attended the Blake School in Minneapolis, graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. degree from Carleton College (1931), did post-graduate work at the Harvard School of Business Administration (1931-1932), and received a B.A. degree from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar (1934). Atherton Bean married Winifred Elizabeth Wollaeger on June 26, 1934. They had two sons: Douglas Atherton and Bruce William.

After working for the Upjohn Company (1934-1936) and the duPont Company (1936-1937), Francis Atherton Bean III joined International Milling Company (1937), which was founded by his grandfather. In 1970 International Milling Company changed its name to International Multifoods Corporation. Francis Atherton Bean, III worked for International Multifoods until 1984, holding several positions within the firm including executive vice president (1944-1955), president (1955-1964), chairman and chief executive (1964-1968), and chairman of the executive committee (1968-1984).

In addition, Francis Atherton Bean III held positions on a number of civic and corporate boards, including chairman of the board of the 9th District Federal Reserve Bank (1961-1965); director of First Bank in Minneapolis, Minnesota (1946-1960; 1966-1976); and as a trustee of the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts (1964-1978), the Mayo Foundation (1964-1978), Carleton College (1944-1985), the Minneapolis Foundation (1961-1980), and the Science Museum of Minnesota (1972-1980). Bean also served on the board of directors of the National Bureau of Economic Research (1970-1979) and was appointed by President Richard Nixon to a Special Task Force on Economic Growth (1969) and a Presidential Commission on Financial Structure and Regulation (1970).

 SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE COLLECTION

The collection consists largely of typed carbon copies of Atherton and Winifred Bean's outgoing correspondence. Some incoming correspondence was retained with the copy. There are also photographs, certificates, and information pertaining to their personal philanthropic gifts, the Athwin Foundation, the F. A. Bean Foundation, and the Western Foundation.

Approximately 4.5 cu. ft. of records pertain to Bean's involvement with such institutions as Carleton College, International Multifoods Corporation, the Mayo Foundation, and the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges. These records contain reports, newspaper clippings, and speech files, but are largely correspondence with other executives, trustees, and members of the board. Corrrespondents include John J. Kovarik, Charles Ritz, John William Nason, Slade G. Schuster, and Emmerson Ward.

Bean retained approximately 1.2 cu. ft. of correspondence, reports, articles, and photographs from John Paddock, an archaeologist and ethnographic researcher working in Oaxaca Valley, Mexico. Paddock's correspondence provides an expansive view of his life as a researcher and adminstrator. Atherton and Winifred made financial contribitions to Paddock's research and the Institute de Estudios Oaxaque�os.
