Overview

William Sharpe (c. 1882–1960) was a brain surgeon who developed treatment for retardation and palsy in children. In 1948, he donated 1,500 acres of land to The Fresh Air Fund. That donation became part of the Sharpe Reservation, a heavily wooded nature reserve in Fishkill, New York, which eventually expanded to 3,000 acres. Sharpe, who wrote an autobiography at age 70, served as the first president of the Pan-American Medical Association. He died at age 77, having retired and moved to Florida with his wife. He graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Medical School.

“The central question for positive financial economics is valuation – what is the value today of a set of future prospective cash flows? The central question for normative financial economics is the appropriate use of financial instruments in a world in which values are set wholly or partially in accord with the principles of positive financial economics.”
— William Sharpe’s February 1992 lecture at Trinity University: in: William Breit, ‎Barry T. Hirsch (2009). Lives of the Laureates: Twenty-three Nobel Economists. p. 172
