There is a need felt by many students which the elective pamphlet does not satisfy. A course is demanded in common English law, not for those students who intend to become lawyers, but for those who are looking forward to business. Such a course, embracing the general features of common business law and the every-day methods of procedure, would meet with approval at large among our students, and would be productive of practical results of value. The subject is no more technical than that of political economy or the study of finance. It is kindred to the subjects of many courses, and it could be conducted in a manner that would connect it intimately with them. Objection may be urged against this plan, on the ground that similar courses are given in the Law School, that are open to students in the academic department. These courses in the Law School are, however, deeper and more special than is called for by the time or disposition of general students. Reference to the Yale curriculum illustrates our point. There a course is established which covers in a broad way an exposition of the principles of every-day law. This course is deservedly popular. Why not let the Conference Committee investigate it, and recommend a similar course for Harvard?
