EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON-The suggestion made in last week's Advocate in regard to English vii, and viii., will, I think, meet with general approval. The change proposed is this; that each of those courses be given two hours a week, and count as full courses. These course under Prof. Hill are made interesting, but they are also unsatisfactory, because the work laid out to be done, is, on account of lack of time, never fully accomplished. For instance, English viii. treats of the English literature of the present century, but lack of time has made it impossible...
...time, that perhaps the gentleman was excited, or perhaps even "rattled," but we see no reason why in a game between the freshman nines of the same two colleges, this same university played should endeavor to coach the freshman nine.

Thus taking a three years' course instead of one of four years, is scarcely feasible or practicable...
...which shall fit into a man's life and work in this age, and help him to be of use to society as well as to make the most of himself. Such an education must be to a degree a suggestive one; it must teach a man how to think even more than what to think, and must from its very nature abandon the old rut of thought. The favor with which the "new subjects" are received shows plainly how undergraduate feeling is disposed toward them. Men at college fully realize the nature of the times into which they have...
