You should not have any trouble getting into the university archives to see 
the "college" [i.e., Faculty of Arts and Sciences] course catalogues for 
those years, which will show you department by department who had jobs year 
to year and at what level and what courses they taught. Call 617-495-2461. 
Probably the archivists will show you internal departmental papers on 
annual numbers of "concentrators" (undergraduate majors) and graduate 
admissions and graduate degrees taken in economics, and maybe also course 
syllabi. Beyond that you will need heavy leverage. Given what I believe is 
still a 50-year rule, you probably will not get to see departmental records 
on hiring at any level past 1954 (and so on), much less deanly or 
presidential records on permanent (tenured) appointments. Ditto any 
correspondence between deans and individual members of the department's 
faculty on "research institutes" or work in Washington (or elsewhere for 
the USG or for the state). 
 
For personal reports and records I think your best source now is Arthur 
MacEwan, who is, I believe, chairman of economics at U.Mass.-Boston.
