====================== HES POSTING =================== 
 
[NOTE: This message appeared on Eh.Teach, and I thought the student might 
benefit from replies from historians of economics. She has given 
permission for the message to be posted to HES.  I did ask her why she 
restricted her query to articles; her response was that they decided that 
books probably appeared on undergraduate course reading lists, but 
articles might not.  Please respond to her rather than the list; I asked 
her to send me a copy of her results, which I'll post to the list. -- RBE] 
 
Dear Prof: 
 
My name is Julie Smith and I am a senior Economics undergraduate at the  
University of Pittsburgh (Bradford) working on my honors project.  I would  
greatly appreciate if you could respond to a very brief survey I am conducting.  
This will help me immensely towards my project.  (I have estimated that the time 
taken to complete this survey should be <= 4 min.) 
The Survey   
I would like to know the 3 most important articles an Economics major ought to  
read (before graduation).  I am keen on knowing the 3 you would list.  Please  
complete the list as much as possible.  I can fill in the gaps.

Note:  Thank you very much!  All private information will be confidential.  
Only the aggregate results will be used towards a summary.  Feel free to  
forward this survey to your fellow-econ-colleges (friends) who could help an  
eager undergrad.   
Thank you, 
Julie
