Professor Ward Curran ’57 is the first holder of the Ward S. Curran Distinguished Professorship of Economics, established by Peter Kraus ‘74
and Jill Kraus. Professor Curran earned a bachelor’s degree from Trinity and an M.A. and a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University.
“Trinity must be able to compete with the best liberal arts colleges around the country.
Endowment provides better students and faculty, along with more substantive research and teaching among undergraduates. That is why we are here.
We need an economically diverse student body – many of our most successful alumni came from limited means so they understand that on a personal level. The former trustee who endowed my chair came from a middle-class family and became very successful. He was grateful for what he learned at Trinity, and we are grateful for his contribution.”
