“Roger Ward Babson (1875-1967) demonstrated the success of his combination of tradition and innovation. His personal and professional accomplishments as entrepreneur, educator, and philanthropist include founding Babson’s Reports in 1904, now the oldest investment newsletter in America, and establishing a school of business administration to provide not only practical but also ethical training for young men wishing to become business executives (now Babson College). Perhaps most famously, Babson has often been credited with predicting the 1929 stock market crash” (Dennistoun, Bubbles, Booms and Busts, p. 152).
