ANOTHER manifest injustice has at length been remedied. There is no substantial reason why the Junior Class should have two hours of elective work and six Themes required of its members, in excess of the number of hours allotted to Seniors; and it is therefore a pleasure to learn that the former burden has been removed. Henceforward the work of the Juniors need not exceed twelve hours of recitation a week, with the usual margin of one hour to compensate for any unavoidable irregularity. We are also glad to know that this new regulation is carried into immediate effect; therefore it will now be necessary to specify what courses it is intended to drop or maintain as extras. Surely the thanks of the class are due to the Faculty, who have so promptly responded to the wishes of a large number of undergraduates, thereby recognizing the right of petition on the part of the latter, - a right the moderate exercise of which is to be commended. And we are ready to believe, as we before have said in these columns, that in all essentials, at least, the Faculty are entirely disposed to consult the interests of those under their charge. Nor, in the general congratulation, should those members of '82 who devoted their time to the circulation and sending in of the paper be unthanked for their pains.
