Looking for something quite different, I stumbled upon this picture of the young Henry Ludwell Moore from 1898 when he taught at Smith College. Since I very much like to display pictures of members of the economists’ pantheon from when they were young, I decided to look for some artifact associated with Moore’s teaching at Smith to include with the picture. For those interested in the history of economics education of women, such course catalogue excerpts from the traditional women’s colleges are of considerable interest.
