In 1948, he resigned from government service and joined the faculty of the Pennsylvania State University where he has been teaching ever since in the area of international economics. Last spring and summer he directed the Penn State Study Program at the University of Strasbourg, France, and participated in the summer program arranged there for the Free Europe Scholarship students. While on these assignments, he studied the regional development policies of the Common Market countries.
