FOURTH YEAR In order to arouse an interest in the study of topics relating to commerce and industry, and to stimulate an examination of the value of college training for business men, a committee composed of PROFESSOR J. LAURENCE LAUGHLIN, University of Chicago, Chairman; PROFESSOR J. B. CLARK, Columbia University; PROFESSOR HENRY C. ADAMS, University of Michigan; HORACE WHITE, ESQ., New York City, and HON. CARROLL D. WRIGHT, Clark College, have been enabled, through the generosity of Messrs. Hart, Schaffner and Marx, of Chicago, to offer again in 1908 four prizes for the best studies on any one of the following subjects: I. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. IO. II. 12. An Examination into the Economic Causes of Large Fortunes in this Country. The Untouched Agricultural Resources of North America. Resumption of Specie Payments in 1879. Industrial Combinations and the Financial Collapse of 1903. The Case against Socalism.* Causes of the Rise of Prices since 1898. Should Inequalities of Wealth Be Regulated by a Progressive Income Tax? The Effect of the Industrial Awakening of Asia upon the Economical Development of the West. The Causes of the Recent Rise in the Price of Silver. The Relation of an Elastic Bank Currency to Bank Credits in an Emergency. *Other phases of Socialism were suggested in previous years. A First Prize of One Thousand Dollars, and A Second Prize of Five Hundred Dollars, in Cash are offered for the best studies presented by Class A, composed exclusively of all persons who have received the bachelor's degree from an American college in 1896, or thereafter; and A First Prize of Three Hundred Dollars, and A Second Prize of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars, in Cash are offered for the best studies presented by Class B, composed of persons who, at the time the papers are sent in, are undergraduates of any American college. No one in Class A may compete in Class B; but anyone in Class B may compete in Class A. The Committee reserves to itself the right to award the two prizes of $1,000 and $500 to undergraduates, if the merits of the papers demand it. The ownership of the copyright of successful studies will vest in the donors, and it is expected that, without precluding the use of these papers as theses for higher degrees, they will cause them to be issued in some permanent form. Competitors are advised that the studies should be thorough, expressed in good English, and although not limited as to length, they should not be needlessly expanded. They should be inscribed with an assumed name and whether in Class A or Class B, the year when the bachelor's degree was, or is likely to be received, and accompanied by a sealed envelope giving the real name and address of the competitor, and the institution which conferred the degree, or in which he is studying. The papers should be sent on or before June 1, 1908, to J. Laurence Laughlin, Esq. University of Chicago Box 145, Faculty Exchange Chicago, Illinois ECONOMIC TRACTS (SECOND SERIES.) In consequence of the favorable reception accorded the reprint of four economic tracts of the nineteenth century, the Johns Hopkins Press invites subscriptions to a similar reprint of four important economic tracts of the seventeenth century issued consecutively under the editorial direction of J. H. Hollander, Ph.D., Professor of Political Economy in the Johns Hopkins University. The Series consists of the following tracts: (1) A Discourse of Trade. By NICHOLAS BARBON. London, 1690. (2) Several Assertions Proved. By JOHN ASGILL. London, 1696. (3) Discourses upon Trade. By DUDLEY NORTH. London, 1691. (Ready.) (4) England's Interest Considered. Cambridge, 1663. (In Press.) By SAMUEL FORTREY. Each tract is supplied with a brief introductory note and necessary text annotations by the editor. The general appearance of the title-page is preserved, and the original pagination is indicated. The edition is limited to five hundred copies. With a view to serving the largest scientific usefulness, the subscription for the entire series of four tracts has again been fixed at the net price of One Dollar (5 shillings = 5 marks = 6 francs). Of the first series of reprints, a limited number can yet be obtained at the price of One Dollar and a Half ($1.50), net, for the series. They can, however, be supplied only in conjunction with a subscription to the second series. As the edition approaches exhaustion, the price is likely to be further increased. The first series consists of the following tracts: (1) Three Letters on the "Price of Gold." By DAVID RICARDO. 1809. (2) An Inquiry into the Nature and Progress of Rent. By T. R. MAL THUS. 1815. (3) Essay on the Application of Capital to Land. By Sir Edward West. 1815. (4) A Refutation of the Wage-fund Theory. By FRANCIS D. LONGE. 1866.
