THE VISITING PRIVILEGE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In this period of planning courses for the second half-year, it is well to remember the privilege offered to students of the University of visiting courses in which they are not enrolled. The chance to hear valuable lectures by men of eminence in their particular fields is one of the greatest opportunities of college. Although the subject of a course may not appeal to a man, he will derive substantial benefit from contact with the professor; and he is here given free access to the lectures of many of the best known professors in the country. He may put his time and work on the subject in which he is interested, and by the visiting privilege he may also acquaint himself with the leaders in other subjects. It is not dabbling for him to hear as many of these men as possible while he can. Seniors especially, for their days are growing few, in case they have come so far in ignorance of the leading professors, might consider a visit now and then to these professors courses. They will be welcome, and they will profit.
