Frank Samuel Loescher (?-1976) received a bachelor's in 1932, a master's in 1935, and a Ph.D. in sociology in 1946. He taught sociology at Randolph Macon Women's College from 1938 to 1944. In 1945, he was a lecturer at Temple University. Loescher was diretor of the American Friends Service Committee's first interracial campaign between 1941 and 1944. Between 1945 and 1948, he directed the AFSC's job opportunity program. He became the first head of the Philadelphia Fair Employment Practices Committee, later renamed the Human Relations Commission. He died in 1976 in Capetown, South Africa, in his capacity as chair of the Southern African Committee of the International Division of Quaker United Nations Committees.
