4 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. Just as, other things being equal, a man skilled in pure mathematics will be a better teacher of any branch of applied mathematics than one who is not land vice vcrsai, so is it in pure and applied Economics. Pure Economics is simply the theory of ideal industrial and commercial rela- tions and adjustments in ideal communities of wealth-seekers ideally related to each other, or in humanity viewed as one wealth-seeking community, with all its component parts in uniform and entirely recipro- cal relalions. Lrtissezfaire-isme is its necessary and inevitable outcome. Applied Economics, on the-other hand, inquires and shows in what manner, and to what extent, and for what reasons, the actual must modify the economic ideal. It recognizes nations because they, of right, exist, and have functions which need to be understood. It remembers, that in all nations, and in humanity as a whole, there are other than proprietary interests, and that to all these the industrial and commercial activities must be sociologically co-ordinated. It is willing that a little time and thought be given to the development of the noblest, strongest, and most symmetrical civil and social life, even though the annual crop of opium or tobacco be a few pounds less than otherwise might be possible. Studying thus all human interests, in all the various actual environments of communities, and nations, and families of nations, its reasons for desiring a tariff in one land or thne are precisely its reasons for opposing a tariff in another land or another time. Now, if one desired thoroughly to obscure these fundamental facts, and hopelessly to blind the student to them, what more effectual plan could be invented than the one described, according to which the whole wisdom of the college confesses its inability to decide between the claims of two bodies of doctrine supposed to be antagonistic, and weakly offers to its half-trained youth a personal option between two party champions, both selected on the very ground of their narrowncss and mental disqualifica- tion for seeing the true character of the question in debate. One narrow and partisan teacher in a college is bad enough, two create a situation twice as bad, but, when to their respective misapprehensions and false teachings the authoritative sanction of the government of the college is given, the evil is beyond estimation. One of the chief things for which institutions of liberal education exist, is precisely to rebuke and to antagonize all such Philistinlan Halbheiten as this. All friends of good learning will desire to aid the American Archaeo- logical Institute in its effort to secure the funds needed to erect a build- ing at Athens for the American School of Classical Studies. Address Professor John Williams White of Cambridge, Mass. The School has recently been opened to women. The same friends, if as broad-minded as they should be, will also be glad to learn that the Modern Language Society of America is developing a remarkably vigorous life. .By invi- tation of Boston University its second annual meeting was held in Jacob Sleeper Hall, Dec. 27-30, 1885. Nearly every strong college in the land was represented.
