Hotelling’s students included the communist and later Soviet agent Victor Perlo (1932-33) and three Nobel prize winners in economics, Milton Friedman (1933-34), William Vickrey (Winter session 1935-36) and Kenneth Arrow (Winter session 1940-41). Friedman’s and Arrow’s student notes for this course with Hotelling can be found at the Hoover Archives and the Duke Economist Papers Project, respectively.
Course outlines and a final examination for Hotelling’s course as taught at the University of North Carolina in 1946 and 1950 has been posted. Here is a link to the posting of a list of statistics and economics courses taught at Columbia by Harold Hotelling.
