...value of Harvard's new "publication, the "Quarterly Journal of Economics, seems to be generally realized even outside of the college. The Nation published in its last number a very complimentary notice of the new journal. Although the writer of the review takes occasion to criticise mildly some minor points in the articles of the journal, the lively and trustworthy treatment of the great practical subjects, such as the account of the "Southwestern Strike" and the Knights of Labor, received due praise. Students of political economy, and especially college students, are fortunate in possessing a magazine which will give clear...

This Mr. Eliot has done, or striven...
...directories in our dormitories. One communication suggested in addition the placing of boxes beside the cards for the reception of letters and visitors' cards. We sympathize with the first step of the reform, as set forth by our correspondent of to-day, but not with the second, the boxes. Even to college students a card directory would be a great convenience. We frequently wish to look a fellow up, whom we know rather well, have met on many occasions, but we haven't an idea where his room is. Or there is a friend whom we have often seen entering...
