Raymond Kennedy (December 11, 1906 -- April 27, 1950) was a professor of sociology studying Southeast Asia at Yale University. Born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, he went to college at Yale University where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1928. He then went to the Philippines to work at the Brent School for a year, before gaining employment from General Motors to work as a representative in the Dutch East Indies from 1929 to 1932. In 1932 returned to Yale to pursue graduate studies and lectured there on from 1935 until his death. His efforts resulted in the creation of the Southeast Asian area and language studies program in 1947. He worked for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II.^[1] In January 1949, he left for a fifteen-month research trip in Indonesia, near the end of which he was murdered, along with Time Magazine journalist, R. J. Doyle, in West Java.^[2]

Kennedy earned the ire of then-Yale student William F. Buckley, Jr. for supporting civil rights and espousing purportedly anti-religious secular positions.^[3]
