EDITOR COURIER:The time has come when, for the convenience of instructors and students the department of History and Political Science ought to be divided. The growing VIEWS. popularity of this branch of college work has resulted in the over-crowding of this department, and the restrictions made by the new scheme of Major and Minor courses, only permits a very limited amount of work in either History or Political Science. A great many students desire to take work in both of these branches, but because they are combined in one department they are not allowed this privilege, and the result is a great deal of dissatisfaction and complaint. Further, the work now required of this department both as to number and size of classes, and the great variety of subjects covered, all demand that the department should be divided. Seven studies is by far too great a task for one professor, and as all other departments have one or two assistants it seems to me to be imperative that an assistant instructor or be provided for that department. Let our Regents consider this matter and the advisability will become apparent. K. Fine CIGARS and choice CAN- DIES. Students trade solicited. WOOD & EARP, Lunch Counter, 611 Massachusetts Street.
