Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Railway Co-Operation: An Investigation of Railway Traffic Associations and a Discussion of the Degree and Form of Co-Operation That Should Be Granted Competing Railways in the United States The two essays constituting this monograph on Railway Co-operation were written in competition for a prize open annually to a limited number of students in the senior class of the Wharton School of Finance and Economy of the University of Pennsylvania. This prize was established in 1896 by Mr. Henry C. Terry, of Philadelphia, in honor of his son, Willis Terry, who died suddenly two months after graduating from the Wharton School. The second set of essays submitted in competition for the Willis Terry Prize were prepared under my supervision during the academic year 1897-1898. The subject which the five competitors investigated and wrote upon was given to them ten months before the essays were submitted in final form for examination. The five essays were all prepared with care; but two of the contestants, Mr. Charles S. Langstroth and Mr. Wilson Stilz, gave a large amount of time and research to the preparation of their essays, and when the judges came to pass on the merits of the manuscripts, it was agreed by the judges, not only that the essays by these two young men were the best of the five, but that the studies were of such exceptional value as to make it desirable for the University of Pennsylvania to include them among its publications. In making their award, the judges gave the prize to Mr. Langstroth and made honorable mention of Mr. Stilz´s essay.
