0.75 m of textual records

Edward Safarian entered University College at the University of Toronto in the autumn of 1942. In second year he transferred to the honours program in political science and graduated with a BA (hons.) degree in 1946. The professors who taught him included Donald Creighton, Alexander Brady, Harold Innis, C. B. MacPherson, Lorne Morgan, Lawrence Skeoch, Edward Hodgetts, William R. Dymond and R. MacGregor Dawson.

He "kept his scholarships in spite of serving on the executives of the `Lit' [University College Literary and Athletic Society], the Political Science and Historical Clubs".

Following graduation in 1946, Safarian headed for the University of California at Berkeley, from where he graduated with a PhD in economics in 1956. The interest in international economics that he had acquired as an undergraduate was emphasized in his studies at Berkeley, where his professors in economics, business, and international finance and trade included M. Knight, H. Ellis, W. Fellner, R. A. Gordon, and Drs. Condliffe and Buchanan. While there, he was a teaching fellow and then head teaching fellow in economics and statistics.

This series consists, at the undergraduate level, largely of course notes taken at lectures and seminars, notes on readings for same, term papers, examination schedules and questions. Additional material at the graduate level includes notes for Safarian's doctoral thesis, correspondence, and lecture notes for courses in economics and statistics he taught while a teaching fellow.
