John R. Commons was born in Hollansburg, Ohio, October 13, 1862, he died May 11, 1945.
After graduating from Oberlin College, Commons earned his PhD at Johns Hopkins University.
After appointments at Oberlin and Indiana University, he began teaching at Syracuse
University. He was dismissed from Syracuse in 1899, after being considered a radical.
Commons' early work exemplified his desire to unite Christian ideals with the emerging
social sciences of sociology and economics.
Common's contribution to labor history is considered equal to his contibutions to
the theory of institutional economics.
