Renne Gubernatorial Campaign Papers, 1963-1966'', Montana State University, lib.montana.edu〕 As a boy, Roland helped his father on the farm and attended country schools. With the financial help of his father, he attended Rutgers University and graduated summa cum laud in 1927.〔 He continued his education and obtained his Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from University of Wisconsin in 1930.〔 Rutgers University and University of Wisconsin are both land-grant schools and each influenced the development of Roland Renne's educational philosophy and championing of public education.〔 There were two economists who heavily influenced Dr. Renne; the economist Richard T. Ely, who in 1892 was a founder of the Wisconsin University School of Economics, Political Science and History, and the economist John R. Commons, who was Ely’s assistant and a pioneering historian on the U.S. Labor Movement.〔 Following his graduation in 1930, Renne arrived in Bozeman, Montana to start his teaching at Montana State College as Assistant Professor of Agriculture Economics. On August 19, 1932 he married Mary Polly Kneeland Wisner〔 with whom he had four children. Dr. Roland R. Renne died in Bozeman, Montana on August 30, 1989.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roland Renne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
