B. A. COURSE.
Political Economy.—In the treatment of this department
of knowledge there is no rigid adherence to the school of
Smith, Ricardo and Mill. The modification of older doctrines,
necessitated by the increase of productive inventions
and productive operations, is steadily regarded, and as far
as possible the subject brought down to the current year on
all important topics. Attention is paid to the inquiries
and criticisms of Thornton, Cairnes, Jevons, Marshall,
Nicholson, etc.; and to the altered views propounded by
Laveleye, Walker, the Cathedrists and other German
schools.
Text-Books.—Walker's Political Economy (advanced course). Special
topics and special lectures will be introduced.
