THUI ELECTIVE SYSTEM.
Thie elective, system in the, literary
department was. devised, it is presum-
ed, in order to allow the student to
take those subjects which would be of
most value to him. Instead, in its
practical working, it allows the stui-
dent to' select easy courses and to
muddle his whole program of work so
much that the cultural worth of an
academic term is impaired seriously..
No matter how sincere# he may -be, the
average student ndoes not have the i-'
.clination to pick a. series, of f diffilcult
.courses; it is the unusual person who,
gets from the literary department the
best which that college has 'to offer
him..
The dangers of too broad an elective
systemi have been s recognized to some,
degree, and efforts have been made top
I orrelate the. various sub-courses.
This movement, which is really-but a,
step back toward the old rigid system,
is not yet definite enough to have much
effect. The selection of "snap"~ sub-
jects is the rule. Perhaps a strong re-
action toward the former iron-clad
curricul1a would result in turning out
graduates who might have a more jus~-
tillable claim to the distinction of be-
in~g termedI bachelors of ~arts. It is
clear that the present loose system,
rather common in all American uni-
verties, is not altogether satisfactory.
Old'. University Hall 'never did the
prosperous business in two months
that. Hill auditorium has done in the
last two weeks.
One rum~or has it that certain fac-
ulty meni would like to circulate a peti-
tion for a general increase in studyling.
