The advanced courses for special investigation in metaphysics, ethics and psychology, are more elaborate, and are more systematically arranged than formerly. Past students in Philosophy 4 will no doubt reap much advantage from the deeper study of ethical subjects which they can obtain by taking course 8, which will not be confined as previously, to the writings of Hegel. We are glad to see, on the whole, that the improvements in the important department of philosophy have kept pace with...
