POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB.

There seems to be a particular need in this day and generation for just such an organization as it is proposed to form tonight. There probably never was a period when the art of government was so important to our nation as now. The tremendous agitation of all sorts of social and economic questions creates an enormous strain on the machinery of government; the doubt in which are held many of our traditional forms of government subjects them to great pressure; here indeed is an urgent demand for scientific treatment of political topics. Without becoming too academic the club can give to the passion-clouded issues of the present day the intensive scientific treatment they deserve.

Economics 9 is to be abolished! At least, so rumor hath it. Why? Because it is too practical for the undergraduate. So rumor has distorted truth.

The outrageous abolishment however, of this very popular and valuable course on Bookkeeping and Accounting dwindles upon investigation to a change. A change there is to be. But it will tend, if present indications are reliable, rather to open the course more widely to undergraduates, than to close it, and will also remedy the handicap which has developed with increasing size--lack of individual attention. Many enthusiastic members of Economics 9 who would protest violently against its removal as an undergraduate course or even against a change in its nature toward the theoretical, have felt this handicap and will approve of a modification designed to meet it.
