Department of Economics and Sociometrics
This department teaches economics as a theoretical science rather than a business course, but does emphasize as it can the friction of reality. Great reliance is placed upon governmental statistics and independently-developed information and methods. Harvey Cox has been active in gathering global statistics and is at the forefront of data analysis theory.
Dr. Anthony Westgate is department chairman, but he still defers to Dr. Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee who, until 1908, was department head. Peaslee, who resides at 590 (formerly 27) Crane St, is on indefinite medical leave from the University but still acts as an advisor and maintains an office in the building. His work is now devoted to wideranging research in a number of subjects.
