The Michigan economics department celebrated its Centennial in 1980 and appended a list of present and former faculty to the symposium program, a copy of which found its way to Wolfgang Stolper’s papers, now at Duke.
This post provides chronological and alphabetical lists of economics faculty (for the rank of lecturer and above, with a minimum three years of service) at the University of Michigan for 1880-1980.
A brief history of the University of Michigan’s economic department through 1940 has been posted earlier.
__________________
Those listed were in the department three years or more at a rank of Lecturer and up. The concluding year for faculty who moved into the Business School is shown as 1924; for Sociology as 1929. Current [1980] faculty members’ names appear in all capital letters.
