...valuable courses in themselves, and, as a result, many men have been waiting to take them in their senior year. Whether this new restriction on Seniors is to be adopted ultimately or not, we think that it should at least be put off for another year for the sake of members of the present Junior Class who have looked forward to taking the courses as usual, if for no other reason...
