EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- The avowed purpose of the English department is not to produce individual writers or to foster phenomenal genius, but to aid every man, however poor his capabilities in that direction may be, to a fair command of English. Now, a regulation has appeared which refuses admittance to English 12, one of the most practical and useful courses in the English department, to any man who shall have fallen below a certain grade in English B; a grade which many a conscientious student may fail to reach by need of that very training which is thus forbidden him. The only reason given is the crowding of the course. If any must be deprived of the advantages it would seem to be more just to deprive those who need the advantages least.

This does not seem to be the opinion of the department, however. Is this either just or consistent?

ENGLISH B.
