The Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science of the New School for Social Research was established in 1933.
The following announcement of economics course offerings for the academic year 1939-40 was published in the second three year report of the Dean of the Graduate Faculty that was published in September 1939. Two changes in the course staffing for the year were noted in the report:
- Emil Lederer, died May 29, 1939.
- Gerhard Colm was granted a leave of absence to serve as adviser on economic and fiscal affairs to Harry Hopkins, Secretary of Commerce, Washington, D. C., during the year 1939-1940.
Upon consulting a few genealogical websites I was able to determine that Richard Schüller only arrived in New York the following year.
