The first appointed president of the Oriental Institute was not an academic, but a government official with a background in trade and economics. Rudolf Hotowetz, who served from 1928-38, played an important role in Czechoslovak government as former secretary of the Prague Chamber of Commerce and Trade, a member of the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce, a prominent national economist and later minister of the Czechoslovak government, and government commissioner of the General Pension Institute. It is safe to conclude that he was chosen to lead the Oriental Institute during its early stages to promote the Institute’s economic aspects. See all items with this value
