We notice that the students of Cornell University are to have a series of lectures on the "Literary and Practical Aspects of Journalism," to be delivered by one of the most prominent, and clear-headed journalists of New York State. Some time ago, we referred to the advisability of such a course of lectures for Harvard, and the sight of the above notice encourages us to again broach the subject. There are always large numbers of men here who intend to enter journalism, and their work would be vastly helped, and their success made far more probable, if some attention were given to them. The chronic poverty of the college seems to put out of the question any hope of the establishment of a regular course for this purpose. But we can see no reason why some journalist of recognized ability and experience should not be asked to give the students here a series of lectures that should treat of the practical side of journalism, and present in clear form the problems that must be met and solved by those who undertake it. There is no other profession in which such active, accurate thought, so body a command of resources, and so clear a method of exposition are needed. The faculty of late have been devoting their valuable time to the obstruction of athletics: would they mind considering a subject that is of vital importance to the proper education of a class of men hither-to unnoticed.
