' J. i 3 its methods of itistnictioii. Tliat the work plaiiiied hy President Wilson has jiroduced fruit is, I tliiiil , attested l)y tiie ;ro vth of the (h ' partiiieiit, l)y tlie qiiaHty of its j;iaduates, and liy the recoffiiition accorded to tlieiii in dIIum- institutions. The acciuirenient of tiie necessary material foundation for tlie depart- ment has also been the ultimate product of President Wilson ' s personal interest and sacrifice. In suhscrihiiifj a fund of $100,(10(1 for the support and furtherance of its activities, iiis friends and admirers have i)aid the high- est tribute to iiis ideals by affordinfi; the means through who.se u.se they may l)e realized. The department of economies with its endowment is l)oth a menu rial and a trust — a memorial to the life of its founder — a trust for the larger development and practical application of his teachings. The needs of the University and of its stu leuts iiulicate a deman l for wider instruction in practical economic problems and for better library opportunities for broad reading and study. When new f|uarters shall have been provided, through the erection of a building in which the department and its books may be housed, and which shall furnish a place of public meet- ing and debate, thi.s broader instruction will exert its full influence in assist- ing the growtii of a l)ody of sound economic thought. To the students and their succcs.sors we mu.st look for the earnest and appreciative work that will make future progress possible. H. Paukeu Willis. I
