Why Is Edward Webster Bemis Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Edward Webster Bemis was an American economist and a public utility expert. He was a proponent of municipal ownership. Biography He graduated from Amherst College in 1880, and received a degree of PhD in 1885 at Johns Hopkins University after over three years' advanced work in economics and history. In 1887 he suggested the use of literacy test as a device to restrict the total number of immigrants coming into the United States. He was a pioneer lecturer in the university extension system, 1887–88; professor of economics and history, Vanderbilt University, 1889–1892; and associate professor of economics, University of Chicago, 1892-1895. At the latter institution, he was obligated to leave either because of his “radical” viewpoint or that he simply was not a good lecturer. He was assistant statistician to the Illinois bureau of labour statistics in 1896, and in 1897 he was professor of economics and history in the Kansas State Agricultural College.
