ELOCUTION - A COMPLAINT IN REGARD TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF ENGLISH 9.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - A great many men were disappointed yesterday on learning that the faculty had withdrawn English 9 for this year. All those who devoted their time last year to the study of elocution under Mr. Jones, intending to take the higher course this year, have found themselves without the means of doing so. They must begin again where they did last year, and in all probability go over the same ground. Of course, Mr. Hayes may put all such men into one section and give them more advanced instruction; but it will not fulfil the purposes of English 9.

The action of the faculty in this matter was clearly injudicious; for it will discourage a great many men who intended to take the course. It will not add any interest to the study; and it must certainly hamper the work of the new instructor.
