Biographical / Historical
Mr. R. Brinkley Smithers, a recovering alcoholic, marshaled his personal and family fortune into the nation's largest foundation in support of alcoholism research, education, prevention, and treatment the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation.
In the fifties, Brink Smithers forged a close working relationship with Professor Harrison Trice at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Together, they conducted a number of pioneering studies on alcoholism.
In 1990, the ILR School established the R. Brinkley Smithers Institute for Alcohol-Related Workplace Studies with a generous endowment from the Smithers family. The Smithers Institute continues the long collaboration between the ILR School and the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation
