On Monday evening, Prof. Laughlin will give the concluding lecture in the Finance Club course. His subject will be the "Study of Political Economy." The lecture is one of peculiar significance. It is the purpose of the speaker to discuss the advantages of the study, for the benefit of those men who are intending to study political economy next year for the first time, and for those who are debating whether, after taking a preliminary course, they will pursue the subject further. It is intended to be supplementary to the brief outline information contained in the elective pamphlet. Hitherto, there has always been a complaint that this pamphlet is too small. How to remedy this defect has been the question. Men really ought to get more idea of the courses, which they choose than they can obtain from the regular pamphlet. Last year, the department of political economy, with considerable enterprise, made up a supplementary sheet, detailing at more length the necessary information. Besides such help even, men often wish to consult the instructors on the different subjects. But the instructors are hard to get at, and the result is that many men choose their courses at random, or on the warped advice of personal friends. This year, Professor Laughlin, recognizing this long felt want, has hit upon a new and still better method of spreading abroad the required information. His plan saves trouble, both to the instructors in the department and to all students. He has determined to lecture on the subject. His plan is to show what will be done in the political economy courses during the academically year, 1884-85. He will also advise men as to their future work in the department. The whole idea of the lecture is admirable, and reflects great credit on the author of the plan. If similar lectures were to be delivered by instructors of the other departments the work of selecting the courses for the ensuing year would be much lightened, and there would be less changing of courses in the fall term.

Our attention has been called to the fact that certain men are playing on the courts now under the control of the tennis association, without having paid their regular dues for this privilege. We are disposed to believe that all such are guilty merely of a piece of forgetfulness ; yet the practice is such an obvious breach of honor with all the members of the association, that we trust it may be put an end to at once.
