- 1. In their
positive Report (written in Harrod's hand), by which Goodwin was
awarded the degree of Bachelor of Letters, Harrod and Sayers
commented:
- Mr. Goodwin has an exhaustive
analysis of the stock and flow of money, based on published
statistics. He has succeeded in eliciting certain facts, not
hitherto known, which should be of interest to monetary
theorists. His own comments on the results of his statistical
work are cautious, but show that he is alive to the problems to
which they are of relevance. We feel that he would not have
succeeded in covering nearly so much ground in the course of
one year, had it not been that the Institute of Statistics is
now available for the assistance of students. We think that he
has made excellent use of the Institute and of the time at his
disposal. (Social Studies Reports, 1935-37, in OUA FA4/18/2/2
page 194).
