The course of lectures on Anthropology, the last of which Dr. Ward delivered on Monday, have aroused no little enthusiasm among those students who were fortunate enough to hear them, and we understand that a movement is on foot among some of the men to petition the faculty for the addition of a course in Anthropology to the curriculum for next year. Whether we have been rightly informed or not in regard to the movement, we wish to express hearty sympathy with such a sentiment, and would encourage those interested to place a petition before the faculty, for in the present list of electives very little knowledge of the socalled New Science can be acquired-a fact greatly to be deplored in a university of Harvard's aspirations.

That such a course would be popular, there can be no doubt, and to remedy its being taken as "a snap," it might be well to count it as one of the higher courses in philosophy, requiring one or more preliminary courses as an introduction.
