DURING the past College year the University lecturers have been represented by only one gentleman, Mr. Perkins. The number might be increased with much benefit to the students, and it seems to us that a course on law would be as instructive and useful as on any subject, a knowledge of which is requisite for general culture. At Dartmouth there is a course of lectures on law delivered to the academic students. They do not go into the subject deeply, but enough to read the frequent law terms which occur in articles, newspapers, and books with more intelligence, and to learn in a short time what could only be acquired by a chance explanation in conversation or in years of general reading.
We know of no lectures on this subject ever having been delivered here to undergraduates in the academic course, and we would suggest that such a subject be considered.
