THE complaint about the subjects for Senior Forensics is, we believe, justifiable. Why but two subjects - one each to the two divisions of the class - should be given out, we are at a loss to know; and why those subjects should be confined to philosophy seems still more unreasonable. There is a large number of men in each class who have no taste for philosophy, and who have, therefore, never taken an advanced elective in this course. But when subjects such as the last two, which embrace the whole scope of philosophy, are given out, these men are compelled to devote a disproportional part of their time to Forensics. Besides, what are the advantages of their restriction? Apparently none. It would certainly be more interesting to the instructor to read Forensics on a variety of topics, and if the number of subjects to select from was larger, it would be much fairer, as more men could take a subject with which they are somewhat acquainted, or perhaps have made a specialty of. We believe that we are speaking the sentiments of a majority of the Senior Class when we ask that the number of the subjects hereafter be increased.
