Obituary: Henry Paul Schapper, 19 July 1918-27 April 2010.

摘要

Henry Schapper, who joined the faculty of agriculture at the University of Western Australia in 1952, was one of a vigorous group of young scholars who established agricultural economics as an academic discipline in Australia during the 1950s and cemented its primacy in agricultural policy formation during the 1960s. Born in Victoria, he left school aged 15, worked as a farm labourer but also studied, obtaining a Diploma of Agriculture from Dookie College in 1938. He then moved to New Zealand where he again worked as a rural labourer and studied, receiving a Diploma in Valuation and Farm Management from Lincoln College in 1940 and degrees of Bachelor (1948) and Master (1951) of Commerce from Canterbury College.
