...with great regret that we open our second volume this year without being able to take on a freshman editor, as is our usual custom; the contributions have been so insufficient that we cannot conscientiously take any one on who has written so little. There ought surely in a class of 250 men to be some who are able to express their ideas clearly and concisely, or who can write an interesting first page article, - not necessarily long, but pointed and interesting.

Although Mr. Morse has more experience than any of us, yet his assertions are certainly debatable. He further laments the weakness of our English Department. His criticism, however, is based upon the testimony of graduates of two years and over. Plainly he knows nothing of the reforms wrought...
...reviewer continues: "Professor Laughlin's work is an extremely pains taking collection and methodical arrangement of all the facts needed by the student, the statesman, or the editor to fit him for taking part in this battle. Along with the collection of material we have a clear and dispassionate argument, not of the controversial sort, maintaining the views held by nearly all economists of the present day on the subject of monetary standards...
