...faculty to the administration of the elective system, and that a more careful supervision should be exercised .... over the choice of studies made by students." This, we think, will meet the hearty endorsement of nearly all classes of men, except the smallest and more abject, namely, the seekers after "snap" courses. This regulation, with the one recently announced concerning special students will do away with the objectionable features of our elective system.

Our columns are open to any communications on this topic bearing the magic signature "'89," though we reserve the option of proceeding to clapper stopper...
