History
Bishop Carleton Hunt was the inaugural W.A. Black Chair of Commerce at Dalhousie University. He was raised and educated in Massachusetts and received his first degree from the Boston University School of Business Administration. After serving in World War One as a military instructor at George Washington University, he worked for an economics engineering firm reporting on fundamental business conditions for merchants, bankers and investors. Appointed by Dalhousie in 1920, he also lectured in economics at Nova Scotia Technical College from 1920-1923. The university calendars indicate that he was on leave for the last several years of his tenure at Dalhousie, and in 1927 he earned a PhD in Economics from Harvard University and did not return. He was the author of a much cited history of the development of the business corporation in England.
