Abstract
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the "modern" American Journal of Ophthalmology (AJO). International influence has been present since the beginnings of the journal, and the AJO had boasted a number of foreign editorial board members and collaborators over the years. Within the article we present sketches of the deceased international board members of the AJO, particularly of Sir Stewart Duke-Elder, Pierre Amalric, Joaquin Barraquer, and Yasuo Tano. Although the AJO is American by name and with respect to the majority of contributions and readers, the international board members and collaborators have helped to maintain its international character and worldwide level of recognition. As the United States is a competitive society that values progress and success partially owing to foreign influence and immigrants, similarly the international contributions help to support and provoke the dynamic development of the AJO.
