Randall's death was noted in the Claremont Graduate University News, Sep 14 1997 [sic], as follows:2
RANDALL HINSHAW, EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS AND FOUNDER OF INTERNATIONAL MONETARY CONFERENCE, DIES CLAREMONT, CA . . . Randall Hinshaw, emeritus professor of economics at Claremont Graduate University, died today as an aftermath of a stroke. An internationally renowned and respected economist, Hinshaw was eighty-two years old.
"For nearly four decades, Randall Hinshaw incredibly enriched the academic and spiritual life of Claremont Graduate University," said the University's president, John D. Maguire. "A gentle man in every sense, Randall's teaching inspired several generations of students, his leadership brought honor, respect and admiration to himself and his school, and his character -- distinguished by humility, thoughtfulness, and perseverence -- dignified all he touched. His was a brilliant act of farsightedness to create the world-renowned International Monetary Conference."
Hinshaw joined the faculty of Claremont Graduate University in 1960. He retired from active teaching and was named emeritus professor in 1982. He continued, however, to participate in the activities of the University until his death. In March, he organized his fourteenth dialogue in the Claremont-Bologna Monetary Conference Series, which he founded in 1967.
Widely known as a specialist in international economics, particularly monetary theory, Hinshaw served early in his career with the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, with the Marshall Plan in Paris, as an economist at the Department of Commerce and as a special advisor to NATO on trade and international monetary policy. Prior to joining the Claremont faculty, Hinshaw taught at Harvard University, Amherst College, Yale University, Oberlin College, the University of Southern California, the University of California at Los Angeles, and the Johns Hopkins University Bologna Center. He published his first article in 1938, co-authored his first book in 1947, and authored numerous book reviews and articles throughout his career. He served as rapporteur and editor of each of the books derived from the Claremont-Bologna dialogues.
Born in La Grange, IL, in 1915, Hinshaw moved with his family to Pasadena in 1924. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees, in economics, at Occidental College and his Ph.D. in economics at Princeton University in 1944.
Recognizing that, in the environment of the 1960s, economists seemed to be talking at each other through scholarly articles and the media rather than talking with each other, Hinshaw developed the concept of a dialogue among world economists, where participants could discuss without attribution monetary issues facing international economies. Through his will and with the cooperation of Claremont Graduate University and the Johns Hopkins University Bologna Center, he organized the first dialogue in Bologna in 1967. Growing in stature each year, the 1997 dialogue featured four Nobel laureate economists.
"The International Monetary Conferences that Randall Hinshaw developed and organized have been a powerful resource for our students," states Tom Rochon, director of the CGU Center for Politics and Economics. "By exposing our students to leading economists and monetarists -- in many cases the very people who wrote the books the students were studying -- their enthusiasm for their field is greatly enhanced. Randall's leadership will not soon be forgotten."
Hinshaw is survived by his wife of 48 years, Pearl; two sons, Frederic and Robert of Claremont; one daughter, Elisabeth Osgood, now living in Malaysia; two brothers, Harvey of Lincoln, NE, and Paul of Fullerton; and three grandchildren, Alex and Caitlan Hinshaw of Claremont and Laurel and Evan Osgood, Malaysia.
