Taylor Oslrander's notes from Economics 1-2. taken during the 1929-30 academic year, provide insight into how the Principles of Economics course was taught at a prestigious liberal arts college at that time. Oslrander took Economics I at a momentous point not only in history but also as an environmental factor having great impact on his personal career. He worked on Wall Street during the stock market crash of October 1929. This was nothing if not momentous and through the Great Depression and the New Deal, starting in 1935. and World War II and beyond Oslrander found himself working in government agencies.
