...involve discussion, that the range of possible and interesting discourses is almost unlimited. We are aware that mention has already been made of this matter, but we are sorry to see that little interest has been excited. A course of philosophical lectures representing various schools of thought, could not fail to interest the students and arouse additional interest in the philosophical department.
