Meyer was born in 1918 and attended Phillips Academy, graduating in 1935.〔(Phillips Academy Alumni Profile )〕 He then attended Harvard College, graduating in 1939.
After college, Meyer took a job with Sears in Chicago.〔(Phillips Academy Alumni Profile ); ("Chicago's Growing Clout in World Affairs", ''Illinois Issues'', Sept. 1975 )〕 Meyer rose through the ranks at Sears to become Vice President responsible for Sears' operations in Latin America.〔("Chicago's Growing Clout in World Affairs", ''Illinois Issues'', Sept. 1975 ); ("The Americas: Ike's Eyes and Ears", ''Time'', Mar. 14, 1960 )〕 His first foray into government service came in 1960 when President of the United States Dwight D.
