WE are glad to see, by the President's Report, that an effort is being made to increase the advantages of a post-graduate course. Many students feel a desire to spend a year or two in study here after they have finished their college course, and to give their time either to studies they have been unable to pursue before, or to some subject which they make a specialty. To the former class the college electives offer a good field for work, and they can push their studies in whatever direction they choose; but to the latter there is presented no such chance. They have taken already the electives in their special subject, and now there are no courses open to them in which they can work with profit. To be sure, they have command of the Library, an invaluable aid to any student, and they have the advice of the teachers; but they are not yet able to work profitably without guidance, and the time of the teachers is too fully taken up to allow them to give much of it to graduates. If, then, a faculty can be formed, as is proposed, for the superintendence of post-graduate studies, the interest in such studies and the number taking them will be greatly increased.
