Husby-Johnson Endowed Chair of Business & Economics
Established in 1983 by Oscar and Pearl Husby and Joseph and Mary Husby to honor Senior Vice President David E. Johnson ’38, the purpose of this Chair is to enhance the general reputation of St. Olaf by bringing to St. Olaf a person of recognized competence in the field of business or economics. Oscar Husby served on the St. Olaf Board of Regents from 1966 to 1980, and as chairman of the Board from 1976 to 1980. The first holder of the Husby-Johnson chair was Leon Hollerman, a specialist in Asian economies; subsequent holders have been Bruce R. Dalgaard, Kathy Chadwick, Paul Wojick, and David Emery.
