"Later and bettor Information" dis
closes the fact that tho RegentB have
ottered a full holiday for Ivy day, ask
ing that the Seniors give up their
Sneak day, In consfderatlon of this
concession. That is to say, that Ivy
day, which has always been more or
Icbb a holiday, Is to be made a full
holiday and tho Seniors are to give
up their annual picnic and Bneak. A
number of Seniors have expressed
themselves as not in favor of this
and tho question remains unsettled.
At Amherst there Ib a rule which
provides for fining professors one dol
lar per day after delaying reports of
tho grades of their students more than
ton days after the examination. Now
wo all admire the man who has the
promptness and tho tlmo to correct
that "the flcHon that a' hoy df Beven
toen should he allowed to enter a uni
versity and choose his own special
course must bo abandoned." A smat
tering education Is no education at
all, yet the elective system wouldn't
be half bad if the Instruction was not
so highly specialized. It Is the com
mon experlenco of many who havo
completed a general academic career
that wherever a department gives
general elementary courses they are
much superior to the more advanced
courses, which nre often devoted to
tho exploitation of tho hobbies of the
professors. Many departments, par
ticularly In tho sciences, do not give
courses suitable for the man who is
only after a general survey of the
subject; they are given on -tho as
Biimption that the student will con
tinue for his entire four years in the
department. The average student
knows little about a course before he
gets Into It and after ho finds the
course so technical he prefers, for
one reason or another', to go ahead
until his first chance comes to drop
It. A smattering education of this
kind Is worth little as far as the class
room contributes to It. But wouldn't
good general courses suitable for
Seniors as well as Freshmen furnish
at least better pasturage on which wo
might graze? Most of the general
courses given at this university are
about all devoted to drill in get
ting to class on time and mat
ters of equal importance to Freshmen,
but which becomes tiresome to tho
upperclass man who Is simply taking
the course because it Is general.
There oughts to bo a visiting day on
which each professor could go in and
hear the talks on ethics he has been
duplicating unconsciously nil the rest
of the year. The faults in the elec
tive system aro not all due to the na
