HES: QUERY--Economics and "history of economic thought" at the University of Iowa

[John Womack]

For some background on the author of an interesting 1958 dissertation 
at Iowa City (on "economic doctrine" in Mexico), I am trying to learn 
something about the economics department there between 1935 and 1960, 
particularly who (if anyone) then taught the history of economic 
thought. From a discussion on this list a couple of years ago I saw 
that Frank Knight had taught such history from 1919 to 1928. Does 
anyone know who were the major figures or what were the major 
influences in the department (Henry Wallace aside) from say 1930 to 
1960, and who succeeded Knight in teaching the history of the discipline?
