EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.-The wish was expressed in the CRIMSON a few weeks ago that the faculty would devote a little of the valuable time used in obstructing our athletics to the consideration of a course in journalism. This will recall to the minds of many interested in the subject the fact that at present there is no such course given by any one of our colleges.

Several years ago the University of the city of New York made a move in this direction, and Yale took the matter under consideration, but nothing was done. Cornell also agitated the matter, and the result at the present time is a course of lectures by a well known New York journalist. A thorough familiarity with the party-history of the country, and with the general history of the country and of the world, together with a knowledge of Common, Constitutional, International Law, Political Economy, Logic, Principles of Criticism, English Literature, and the French and German languages, are given by Whitelaw Reid as the indispensable acquirements of a journalist. While, of course, any student can get all these studies from the curriculum as at present constituted, it would certainly be a great gain for the profession if a course could be established which would give men the same help that the moot courts of the Law School give students in law. While Harvard is in the midst of such sweeping reforms in her requirements, why can she not be the first to establish and sustain such a course?
