During the year which has since elapsed, capitalism has demonstrated to many people that in a grave emergency it has the capacity to save itself. But if capitalism has saved itself, government and not business has been the instrumentality. Insofar as capitalism continues to flourish, it will be within an industrial system very different from that which the Harvard Business School has' up to now postulated in its teaching. The economic system of the future will be a functional one, it will be planned, and it will be, to an as yet indeterminate degree, dependent on government...

Furthermore, it makes no difference whether a Sophomore is a candidate for Honors or not in Economics so far as the type and quantity of work is concerned, except insofar as the natural propensities of the student introduce a variable, because usually the introductory course in Economics is taken in the Sophomore year. Therefore it is difficult, if not impossible, to do any advanced work before the Junior year. As for Juniors and Seniors, the amount of time given varies...
