At its meeting this past June at the University of North Carolina at 
Greensboro, the History of Economics society was pleased to announce the  
election of SAMUEL HOLLANDER (University Professor Emeritus, University of  
Toronto) as a distinguished fellow of the Society. 
 
The following citation was provided by the nominating committee (written  
by Bob Dimand and Malcolm Rutherford): 
 
Professor Samuel Hollander is one of the most distinguished scholars and 
teachers of the history of economic thought alive today.  His publication 
record consist of an early book on the sources of increased efficiency in 
Du Pont rayon plants, some two volumes of articles recently collected and 
published by Routledge, and, of course, his series of Studies in Classical 
Political Economy, published by the University of Toronto Press.  The 
series consists of The Economics of Adam Smith (1973), The Economics of 
David Ricardo (1979), The Economics of John Stuart Mill (2 vols,. 1985), 
and most recently The Economics of Thomas Robert Malthus.  In addition 
Professor Hollander has produced Classical Economics (1987).  Taken 
together, his Studies in Classical Economics provide a brilliant, 
challenging, and massively documented, reinterpretation of 
the central figures and writings of classical economics. A conference in 
Toronto last September in Honor of Professor Hollander ("Reflecting on the  
Canon") was a testament to the importance and the impact 
of Professor Hollander's research on classical economics.  Those who have 
agreed and those who have disagreed with him alike have been driven on to 
further research to the benefit of all true scholars. 
 
Professor Hollander has also been an outstandingly successful teacher of 
the history of economics.  His legacy is thus also to be found among his 
students.  They have produced a considerable body of first class work in 
the history of eonomics, and a number are active members of this society.
