As a member of that small and select group of American scientists living and working in Southern California, Dr. Walter S. Adams is well qualified to write about Professor Einstein. During his visits to the United States in recent years the distinguished German scientist has spent his time largely in this influential center.

Dr. ADAMS graduated from Dartmouth in 1898. Following his undergraduate course he studied and taught at the University of Chicago, receiving the master's degree in 1899 and teaching Astronomythere until 1904. He has actively participated in the work of the Carnegie Institution of Washington at its Mt. Wilson Observatory in Pasadena, Calif., since that time and has served as Director of the Observatory since 1923. Dartmouth awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Science in 1913.

TECHNICAL ECONOMICS is a difficult subject to present in a manner understandable to the layman. Bruce Winton Knight, assistant professor of Economics on the Dartmouth faculty, has interpreted the theory of the economist in analyzing the maladjustments which have contributed to the present worldwide depression and in suggesting first aid and prevention. His introduction to the principal part of his argument brings back memories of Taussig and Eccy 1 and 2. Once the underlying laws are established the paper moves in an interesting and constructive way to its conclusion.

PROFESSOR KNIGHT graduated from the University of Utah in 1921 and received his M.A. from the University of Michigan in 1923. He has taught at Dartmouth since 1924.
