OF the new courses in the Elective Pamphlet for next year, probably none will be more acceptable than the one on German literature. The fact that Germany until our time has been divided into numerous states and principalities makes it difficult for the student to get a connected idea of its history and literature; and any help in this direction is to be welcomed. As the course is to be one hour, and to consist of lectures, a large number will undoubtedly elect it. To those students who have already taken several courses in German, it will be valuable as a kind of review; and to those less acquainted with the language it will open to them a source of knowledge and enjoyment from which they are now partially debarred. We approve of having the course one hour, as in English 7, and think the Advocate mistaken in asking to have that made a two-hours' course.
