...really serious criticism of the course, in this reviewer's opinion, lies in its failure to impress upon the student that Professor Taussig's book which serves as the text book and foundation of all the work done, is not an economic bible. The general opinion of most students after taking ec A is that the last word on questions economic has been spoken, that the final truth is known and that Professor Taussig is the interpreter thereof. If they continue with the study of economics and learn that Taussig's "Principles" is only a comparatively minor product...
...three stories in this volume from an ascending climax of quality, so far as this reviewer is concerned, though the publisher's opinion is evidently different. "King Haber" has, perhaps, greater potentialities than either "Schoolmaster Taussig" or "The Patriot", but the quiet tone of the story leaves an impression of dullness rather than the solemn grandeur that is the author's intent. The character of this banker in a small German principality--a man who reaches the position of the Duke's favorite, and himself almost provides the heir to the throne--is a powerful creation, but the presentation never...

The gradual development of the conspiracy against the mad Czar Paul, the struggles of Count Pahlen against external opposition and against his self-accusations of ungratefulness, are told with careful objectivity, yet with a much finer dramatic sense than appeared in "King Haber". "The Patriot...
With Congress in a turmoil over a new outburst of its perennial tariff war, the latest news from the front is the petition, originated by Professor Taussig, and signed by over a thousand of the foremost economists protesting against the Hawley-Smoot Bill. Like most such protests, this petition will probably be pigeonholed while the Senator from Massachusetts, with an eye to a future election, pleads for a raise of the tariff on textiles or the Senator from Idaho thinks that his constituents would profit by further government protection of the wool market...
...Foundation is now completing a talking film on Massachusetts history, with Professor Albert Bushnell Hart depicting in vivid sequence the development of the Commonwealth. We are very anxious to record others, such as Professor Palmer and Dean Briggs, and, among the active members of the Faculty, Professors Taussig in economics, Parker in zoology, Lowes in English literature, and Rand in the Classics; a number of others have made plans for their talks...
