The division of one of Dr. James' courses in Philosophy, so that the first half-year of the course can be taken as a half course is an innovation which will prove acceptable to many students. It is often the case that a man would like to study a certain part of a course when he is unwilling to take the entire year's work in that course. He may feel particularly interested in a subject taken up, while the remaining subjects of the course are useless to him. The extension of this privilege of substituting half-a-year's work in a full course for a half-course would allow many men to consult their taste in this way. Besides, many prefer to have their hardest work during the first half-year, especially as the last half-year is generally largely occupied by outside work in many courses. A general adoption of this plan, in courses where it is possible, would probably commend itself to the body of the students.
