English: In establishing the Augustus B. Weller Chair in Economics, Long Island's first fully endowed professorial chair, Hofstra University’s Board of Trustees raised $400,000 from Long Island’s business community. On September 23, 1964, the Board awarded the chair to Harvey J. Levin, then chairman of the university’s Economics Department, who held it for its first twenty-five years. Allowing him to spend half his time performing research, funded by think tanks like Resources for the Future (RFF), the chair supported Dr. Levin's groundbreaking study anticipating the evolution of television, satellites, cellular telephones, remotes and wireless internet, and their demands on increasingly congested airwaves.
