Footnotes
The information concerning past presidents of the NYSEA is based on available archives of the organization. We welcome documentation or oral history concerning the organization, especially for the period 1948-68. Please contact NYSEA.
- William Hoskings, Colgate University; Laurence Abbott, Union College; and Archibald McIsaac, Syracuse University, were possibly presidents during these years. The exact years are not known. However, McIsaac’s death in January 1960 would seem to rule out his service as president.
- These men are believed to have served as presidents during this period. There may have been others.
- 1948-49 Mabel Magee, Wells College, hosted and Wilfred Crook, Colgate University, presided over the meeting to create the Central New York Economics Conference. This organization was the forerunner of NYSEA.
