Harold Gregg Lewis, 1914-1992.
Affectionately remembered as the administrative angel of Chicago students, H. Gregg Lewis was one of the last of
students of Schultz and Douglas.
Nonetheless, he was also one of the earliest Chicago "economic imperialists":
his 1959 theory of unionism being a remarkable Chicagoesque application of price theory to
social organization.
