HART, SCHAFFNER AND MARX OFFER ECONOMIC PRIZES

A committee composed of five American university faculty members has been enabled through the generosity of Hart, Shaffner and Marx of Chicago, well known clothing firm, to offer in 1926 prizes amounting to $2000 for studies in the economic field.

The contestants will be divided into two classes A and B. Class A includes any resident of the United States or Canada without restriction. Class B includes only those who at the time the papers are sent in, are undergraduates of any American college.

A first prize of $1000and a second prize of $500 are offered to contestants in Class A and a first prize of $300 and a second prize of $200 are offered to those competing in class B. The judges may award the prizes offered to class A to undergraduates if the study merits it.

The papers must be sent on or before June 1, 1926, to J. Laurence Laughlin, Esq., University of Chicago, Chicago, 111.

Four men who have been connected with Dartmouth have won the Hart, Schaffner and Marx prizes in the past. H. S. Person, formerly director of Tuck School, won a prize in 1907 with "Industrial Education."

J. N. Stockett, formerly an instructor in Tuck School, won a prize in 1918 with "The Arbitral Determination of Railway Wages." A former professor of Economics, H. D. Dozier, won a prize two years later with "A History of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad."

G. W. Stocking, assistant professor of Economics at Dartmouth last year, won the prize this year with "The Oil Industry and The Competitive System."
