Wellesley College Windsor-style Collegiate Chair

Wellesley College Windsor-Style Collegiate Chair by Nichols & Stone. The chair is in good condition, just a few scratches to the paint that could be touched up (see photos.)  The chair is a 15-minute drive from the Wellesley campus - message me if you want to pick it up yourself. The chair was given to Carolyn Shaw Bell when she retired in 1989. She was a long-time Wellesley College professor of economics and a former columnist for The Boston Globe. Bell received her undergraduate degree in 1941 from Mount Holyoke College. Upon graduation she worked for the Office of Price Administration in San Francisco, which was led by John Kenneth Galbraith. The two economists maintained a lasting friendship. She then went to London University where she earned her doctorate in economics in 1949. She joined the Wellesley faculty in 1950, working again with Galbraith in a research position at Harvard University. Bell was named the Katharine Coman Professor of Economics in 1964, a chair she held until her retirement in 1989. Bell was the author of two books, Consumer Choice in the American Economy (1967) and The Economics of the Ghetto (1970), and was co-author of several more .
