We cannot too heartily commend the petition, which is now being circulated, in favor of enlarging the Political Economy department. The strong interest manifested by the students in this movement shows sufficiently well the feeling which prevails in college, and cannot but have considerable influence with the president and fellows. As concerns the retention of Dr. Laughlin, the petition states clearly the strong regard held by the students towards this instructor, and he appreciation they have for his earnest and successful endeavors in making the study interesting and popular. It would certainly be a loss to Harvard if his services are allowed to be secured by another college.
