Among the speakers at a dinner which followed the meeting were Oliver M. W. Sprague '94, professor of Banking and Finance; Joseph A. Schumpeter, professor of Economics, and Jerome D. Greene, secretary to the Corporation. George L. Haskins '35, discussed the Phi Beta Kappa prize essay by Wilfred Owen '34 and spoke on Harvard as a negative force in education...

The literature on the subject of highway economics, though there are exceptions, has so far generated more heat than light. Amid dozens of confused and muddle-headed publications in this field, it is pleasant to come upon a study in which the problems are not only seen but seriously attacked...
