The Legacy of Ludwig von Mises

Schedule and Registration Information

On February 23-24, 2007, Grove City College will be hosting a two-day conference to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Honorary Doctorate conferred on Ludwig von Mises in June of 1957.

To kick off the conference, Fellow for Economic Theory and Public Policy at The Center for Vision & Values, Dr. Hans Sennholz, will offer his Memories of Mises. Following Sennholz' remarks, seven top Misesian scholars in various academic disciplines will present papers over the next two days which will be collected into a special issue of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics.

Presenters include:

Joseph Salerno (Pace University)
Peter Klein (University of Missouri)
Tom Woods (Mises Institute)
Tom DiLorenzo (Loyola College)
Mark Thornton (Mises Institute)
Guido Huelsmann (University of Angers)
David Gordon (Mises Institute)

To close the conference, Lew Rockwell, president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, will discuss the Misesian Movement.

In 1956, J. Howard Pew hired Hans Sennholz, the young protégé of Ludwig von Mises, to head the economics department at Grove City College. Sennholz arranged for the Doctor of laws to be awared to Mises on June 8 of the following year. Under the direction of Sennolz, Grove City College became the world’s leading undergraduate institution for the study of Austrian economics. Five years after Mises died in 1973, his widow, Margit von Mises, sought out their friend, Hans Sennholz, to make Grove City College the permanent home to Mises papers and library. Sennholz gratefully accepted custody of the papers and hoped that Mises’s library would wind up at a graduate program where students would be capable of benefiting from it. Since 1978, the 20,000 page Mises Archive at GCC has already been the source of four books of his previously unpublished manuscripts.
