WE do not agree with the Advocate that the new regulation in regard to extra courses is "unwarrantably severe." We think, on the contrary, that the Faculty have very good grounds for their action. The electing of some eighteen or twenty hours a week up to the time of the semi-annuals, or later, and the constant changing from one course to another, are certainly injurious to the student himself, and are also a source of great annoyance at the office. As to the fact that it is impossible to obtain good marks under certain instructors, it would seem as if the proper way to avoid this difficulty would be by specifying the courses of these instructors as extras at the outset, since there need be no hesitation in so doing, if they, as the Advocate states, are confessedly unfair as regards marks. As we have before said, we do not see how the Faculty can be blamed for the new regulation.
