In the new elective pamphlet there have been but few changes in the Philosophical department, with the exception of Philosophy 3, and the advanced courses for special work. We are sorry to see that Prof. Royce's book will be no longer studied in Philosophy 3. Those who have taken that course this year have been greatly pleased with the work done, and we feel that a change to psychology is hardly necessary, as course 2 gives sufficient elementary instruction in that line of study. The advanced courses for special investigation in metaphysics, ethics and psychology, are more elaborate, and are more systematically arranged than formerly. Past students in Philosophy 4 will no doubt reap much advantage from the deeper study of ethical subjects which they can obtain by taking course 8, which will not be confined as previously, to the writings of Hegel. We are glad to see, on the whole, that the improvements in the important department of philosophy have kept pace with the general increase of efficiency which has characterized the whole curriculum.
