ENGLISH VI.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - It seems to be an act of gross injustice that English VI is to be omitted next year. Possibly there may be good reasons for such action on the part of our "guardians," but if so we should at least be allowed to know what they are. Here is the present junior class cut off from all chance of taking such a course, - a course which from its usefulness has become very popular. We have been waiting patiently till we should become seniors, in order that we might have the manifest advantage of just such instruction, and now our hopes are blasted. Let the faculty consider the case fairly, and I think they must see how unjust is their action. Or if it is quite impossible to have English VI, let us, at least, have some parallel course. What Harvard men need, perhaps, more than any other thing, is practice in public speaking. Hitherto this has been our only means of preparation, and now we are deprived of even this. By all means, then, let us be allowed to retain such a course as English VI.

JUNIOR.
