It seems in the highest degree inadvisable, if not absolutely unfair to the freshmen that they are required to commence Analytical Geometry this term before taking their examination in Trigonometry. It is well understood that the former is the hardest subject of the freshman year and requires very close application to pass in the June examination; and, when it is first begun, it is not the time to neglect it. At this time the freshmen are especially busy in preparing for the approaching examinations, one of which is Trigonometry. Either because the present freshman class is particularly brilliant or from some other reason, this subject has been finished three weeks before the examination. The students seem unanimous in favor of spending the remaining three weeks in review, or, at least, not on Analytics. The freshmen would not have too little work if these three weeks were devoted to study for the examinations, as they have, as it is seventeen hours' work a week.
