[edit]

There is another very famous "Robert Summers" that is also listed in Wiki. Would an administrator please assist me in creating a disambiguation page to help those searching to differentiate between the "economist" and the "artist"? Just the facts mam... 18:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Name Change

Why did Samuelson change his name to Summers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.203.81.221 (talk) 15:11, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This should be addressed. I have found no good sources in a quick online search. Perhaps a published autobiography mentions the change? Presumably this was due to "Samuelson"'s "Jewishness", especially given the era the change occurred. The sources I've seen say Robert followed the example of an older brother, but I don't think http://wernercohn.com/The%20Name%20Changers.htm is a good source.
