About Sept. 25th-Prof. Nelson
Mixes With a Badger.

To all mems and purposes the system
Ct elective courses In study Is noW
adopted in all large colleges and UNI
versities. The value OF the elective prin-
ciples can no longer be questioned as
over against tne Journalism OF the old
curriculum. Questions. however. have
arisen as to the application Of the prin-
ciple. These weigh not at all against the
principle but rather demand careful
thought in its application. Perhaps the
problem most insistent Of those arising
thus is that the elective course tends to
produce keen specialists rather than
men and women of a many-side interest
in life and thought. How is this TO be
| obviated? Doubtless more ways than
one will suggest themselves TO q
thoughtful educator.
The plan pursued at the University Of
| Chicago may moi be without interest TO

we'll known, the students OF this college
are not divided into the four classes Of

These cover during the tour years IL
series Of y lectures each. These series
are suficient to cover during the whole
college course one series from each of
he principal departments OF the uni
~yersity. The lectures are given by pro-
lessons OF high standing, so that the
student gets in a short time the newest
results of the work that is being lone on
all subjects. At the beginning OF the
college career there is presented the ad-
vantages to be derived from the different
courses offered. SO that the student Is
not left to elect the classics or sciences
