Prize for Economics Theses.

A prize of $25 has been offered anonymously to the Department of Economics for the best treatise on "The relative interests of the people of Massachusetts in a protective tariff, such as now exists, or in the simplest form of tariff for revenue only; to be worked out by analyses of occupations as given in the population volume of the census, coupled with analyses of manufactures as given in that volume."

This prize will be awarded for the best dissertation received prior to October 1, 1903. The manuscript, in type-written copy, must be handed in before that time to Professor W. C. Ripley or Professor T. N. Carver, at the head-quarters of the Economics Department in University Hall.
