The magazine will not limit itself to the University alone, but will strive to extend the movement all over the civilized world.

The quarterly journal of Economics will be under the efficient management of Professor Laughlin. It is of interest to Harvard men to know that Professor Laughlin was instructor in Political Economy in Cambridge from 1878 to 1883; for the last two years he has been at Cornell.

The third periodical, a scientific journal devoted exclusively to the interests of geology will be under the charge of Thomas C. Chamberlain, head professor of geology and dean of the scientific school.
