WE fully agree with the opinion expressed by the Echo in reference to the need of an elementary course in Anatomy and Physiology. The popularity of the course formerly conducted by Professor James would prove this, if proof were needed; but, when we consider the number of students whose special pursuits are connected with this study, and the still larger number who have a general interest in the subject, we need not search further for evidence that the course is desirable. As an aid to the intelligent appreciation of art and the more thorough knowledge of athletic development, the study of anatomy is of no little service; and even to those who have no special artistic or athletic bent, ignorance of the constitution of the human body is often very galling. We need not say that the voluntary lectures at present given by Professor James do not answer the purpose; for, even if all were energetic enough to attend a course which did not count, many would be prevented by conflicting recitations. Unless, therefore, there are practical difficulties in the way, we see no reason why this study should be banished from our curriculum, or at best reserved for those who happen to have the hour unoccupied.
