POLITICAL ECONOMY PETITION.

The petition now being circulated, asking for an enlargement of the Political Economy department, reads as follows:

TO THE PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY : Feeling that an opportunity for more complete instruction in Political Economy would greatly increase the good work in the community that Harvard is now performing,

We, the undersigned students of Harvard University, respectfully petition that the number of courses in the department be increased.

Also, that Dr. J. Laurence Laughlin, whose active interest and energetic management has contributed so much to the success of the department in this and in past years, be continued therein.
