...Harvard Crimson in a recent article refers to the proposition to establish a school of Political Science at Washington for the training of candidates for our civil service and diplomatic corps; but, despairing of seeing such an institution in that city, it advocates the addition of such a department to Harvard. The idea is an excellent one, and should receive more attention from our educators and legislators. If such a department were added to our universities, it would not only insure a better civil service, but it would make the "scholar in politics" a reality instead of a reformer...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - It is at Bloomington, Indiana, not Illinois, that the Civil Service Reform League, composed mostly of professors and students of Indiana University, has offered prizes for essays on the Civil Service, as stated in the CRIMSON of March 6.

If it be true that we are soon to play an important part, it is needful that we should play it well; that we should be fully...
...page, in which the writer points to the need of establishing a school of Political Science at Washington. The matter is interesting not only to those who for themselves wish to get a practical knowledge of political and economic topics but for those who are anxious to see the civil service of our country bettered. It is likely that no civil service laws will be wholly effectual in getting good work out of our public officers, until these men are fully fitted for their duties by a course of training at some such school as that proposed. The government supports...
