...matter of congratulation to all political economy students. The skeptical and impartial manner in which work is generally pursued here is one of the greatest advantages of this college, and we are glad to see that the tariff is to be considered in the same true spirit. This commercial problem is yet very far from a final solution, and an unprejudiced examination by elementary students is most necessary. Professor Thompson's "Protection to Home Industry" - which book is to be used in the course - is a masterly exposition of the protectionist theory, and all who heard his lectures here...

Hundreds who went there, tormented, perhaps, by doubts and difficulties in the attempt to solve the great problem of what their life-work should be, thirsting for the light with which the lecturer's words flooded the subject and which would have aided them in the task of solution, were unable to gain admittance...
