*The St. Olaf Trade, 1978–2003
The St. Olaf trade began in 1978. St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges shared two half-time professors, one in Latin American History and one in African Historian. John Tutino was the Latin American History professor hired by St. Olaf and Ray Kea was the African history professor hired by Carleton. In 1989 Jeane DeLaney replaced John Tutino. In 1991 Jamie Monson replaced Ray Kea. Because the colleges were on different schedules, it was a complicated position. The trade ended in 2003.
