WE entirely approve of the action now pending in the Natural History Society, of reducing its time of meeting from once a fortnight to once a month, and hope that it will become a law at the next meeting. It is appropriate that the Natural History Society should take the lead in this matter, as it is the oldest of what may be called the learned societies in College; and if the numerous younger societies and clubs which meet for purposes of instruction could be induced to follow this example, we have no doubt that the change would be most beneficial. Now a man may, and many do, belong to three or, perhaps, more of these societies, and very few find it possible to attend all the meetings, to which as members they should go. If all the societies of learning can be induced to have meetings but once a month, the cry of too many societies will die out; the papers read and the questions discussed can be done much better; the attendance will undoubtedly be larger, and the whole will have more backbone and spirit. It can hardly be denied that they all need, or, at least, could stand, a great deal of improvement, and this we think could be done by adopting what is suggested. The question arises often, whether, after all, the College does not furnish us enough work, and whether the time used in attending to the calls of the many societies could not be better spent in other ways. This change would relieve the burden of work that lies on many, and, at the same time, the work done in monthly meetings would be so much better that the inducements would be greater to attend. Therefore we recommend this to the attention of the many societies within our College.
