...quarterly Journal of Economics, established from a fund donated to the university by John E. Thayer, '85, has just appeared. It will prove an invaluable aid to students of Political Economy. The prospectus announces that "The journal will supply a medium of publication for studies in economic history, criticism and speculation, and for the discussion of the important questions of the day. It will present an accurate record of current speculations upon Economics in all the principal languages, and will reprint important articles, documents and statistical matter."

...that we have the ablest professors, the finest museums, and the largest library; but if we do not employ these advantages, our boast is vain. We have all heard time and time again of the slight mental strength gained, by passively taking our facts and ideas through the handy medium of a lecture. As far as real drill goes, listening to lectures affects our minds about as watching other men pull chest weights affects our bodies. As the office of the director of the gymnasium is to show us the apparatus which is for our own use, so the duty...
