Stroup, Dr. Edsel W. History Endowment
The Dr. Edsel W. Stroup History Endowment was established in 2006 by an estate gift from Dr. Edsel W. Stroup. Dr. Stroup received his doctorate in history from The University of Akron in 1975. Dr. Stroup’s dissertation focused on the government of Count Lajos Batthyany and his book, Hungary in Early 1848: the Constitutional Struggle against Absolutism in Contemporary Eyes, was published in 1977 by the Hungarian Cultural Foundation. After graduating from The University of Akron, Dr. Stroup continued to research the history of the Hungarian Habsburg Monarchy at his residence in Gulf Breeze, Fla.
The Dr. Edsel W. Stroup History Endowment will benefit a graduate student at The University of Akron to assist the student in any scholastic activity toward earning his/her graduate degree in history. Special preference will be given to a student who is researching the Hungarian Habsburg Monarchy.
