    Edmond E. Lincoln (1888-1958), a Rhodes scholar from Ohio, was a respected economist. He taught at Harvard University, where he developed a reputation as a writer in the field of business economics. His writing was often critical of the federal spending of the Roosevelt years, which likely drew the attention of President Hoover. In the private sector he worked as an economist for DuPont Company.
