WE have before had occasion to speak of the want of consideration shown by certain instructors in keeping their sections after the hour. In some cases the evil still continues. It is, we understand, a regular practice of one of the instructors in Greek not to let his men out until four or even five minutes after the proper time.

Now, although a student may be glad enough theoretically to get four minutes' more instruction in Greek, yet practically he dislikes to get that instruction by deducting so much time from his ensuing recitation in Latin or Philosophy, or whatever it may be. If three-hour-and-twelve-minute courses are to be a regular part of the curriculum, let the elective pamphlet state so, - that a man may arrange his hours according to what he may with certainty expect. But until this comes to be the state of the case, we hope that these instructors will remember that, in recitation, when a man calculates for one hour, he does not anticipate an hour and five minutes, and will realize the selfishness of supposing that no one of their fellow-instructors has claims equal to their own.
