WE were glad to see an editorial in the last Advocate asking for a course of lectures in Sanders Theatre, to take the place of the series of concerts which it has been found impossible to give. The Natural History Society will, as usual, give a course of lectures, but the subjects are more or less of a scientific nature. It seems to us that great advantage could be derived from some general course, given principally by our own professors on subjects connected with their special departments. Such a course has just been arranged at Yale by the Linonia Society, the first lecture having already been delivered by Professor Sumner. At Yale, too, they complain of the want of just such a hall as we have here, so that, with our superior advantages in this respect, there is no reason why we should not be able to get up as good a course of lectures. The chief difficulty, we know, is to get somebody to take hold of the matter, and we would suggest that some society, with the co-operation perhaps of one of the professors, follow the good example already set by the Natural History Society, and endeavor to give us an interesting course of lectures on general subjects.
