THE suggestion about University Lectures which was made in the last Advocate is certainly worth the consideration of the Faculty. The failure of these lectures eight years ago ought not to be any objection to trying them again now, as we have become much more of a University since that time. Besides, the lectures which we now desire are of a different character from the former ones. The courses given eight years ago were for the benefit of graduates, and most of them were of a decidedly special character; undergraduates were excluded. The Courses of Study for Bachelors of Arts have taken the place of these lectures, and we now ask for lectures for the benefit of undergraduates, - just such courses, in short, as our professors seem to be so successful in giving elsewhere. There are plenty of subjects about which many of us would be glad to know something, but are prevented from taking any of the special elective courses offered in them from lack of time. It seems to us that much would be done for those who are too much inclined to run in special ruts by giving courses of lectures to be delivered by men who are thoroughly competent to speak upon their special subjects.
