EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- While so many suggestions are being made as to the advisability of giving various courses here in college, I should like to propose a course in such elements of medicine as would be useful to the average college student. Whether the idea is a novelty or not, I do not know; but I believe that such a course would prove an eminently useful and desirable one to any student in college. There is a widespread ignorance of the laws of health among college students, and it is merely by accidental learning that such ignorance is in some cases exchanged for a partial information. But a course in sanitary science, and simple rules of medicine and surgery would be of great value. Such a course need go no deeper than what would be most useful in the ordinary contingencies of life, and to be successful should deal with such requirements only. This course could be taken as an extra, or, even if it were judged neccessary, restricted to election as such. It could, I think, be given without much extra expense or inconvenience to the university, and would certainly be of great value to the students.
