The Committee for raising a memorial to the late Professor
Stanley Jevons, the brilliant logician and economist, whom we lost in the prime of his powers about a year ago,—have de- termined to establish a Studentship of £100 a year, the holder of which is to devote himself to economic or statistical research ; and they propose that the election to this studentship shall be vested in trustees, representatives of University College, London, Owens College, Manchester, and University College, Liver- pool. Professor Jevons made his reputation as a great teacher at the first two Colleges, and his personal connection with Liverpool justifies his association with the third, which is, indeed, sure to be soon associated with Owens College in the Victoria University. We earnestly hope that the subscriptions to this memorial will flow in rapidly, and that they will be sufficient to enable the Committee to carry out fully their wise and carefully-matured scheme. Subscriptions may be sent to the Treasurer of the Jevons Memorial Fund, at the Manchester and Salford Bank (Limited).
