This last semester we were I not able to obtain courses which ,off- I ered us any amount of selection or ! choice. If it -was .possible to get a i desirable corn-se, ,the instruction was iso poor as to render the whole theory [of liberal' education a fiasco. In our ' own Spanish department, which 1 i point out as an isolated example, there : is .one of the foremost Spanish schol ia rs ir. the U. S. who gobs without I recognition on .our' own campus. The • Engineering School, and the Chemistry ; and Physics Schools capitalize on the ‘reputations of the professors. Why ■should our school-'-keep their lights iunder a bushel?
