Wells Prize to Dr. E. Jones '12

The David A. Wells Prize in economics of $500, for the current year has been awarded to Dr. Eliot Jones, A.M. '12, now instructor in the University of Pennsylvania. His essay is entitled "The Investigation of the Anthracite Coal Industry," and will be printed in the series of economic studies published by the department of Economics. Dr. Jones was instructor in Economics at Harvard in 1912-13.

The David A. Wells Prize was founded by the distinguished economist, whose name it bears; and the fund which he established provides not only for the payment of this prize (the largest pecuniary prize offered in the University), but also for the publication of the essay. The prize is offered for the best thesis embodying the results of original investigation, upon some subject in the field of economics.
