By rrtiUcnt Harper, L'nlrertltr of Chicago. The feeling growa atrouger In every quarter that Iho college courae, nt leaat for thoae who are to en gage in a profeaslon, muat be ahortened. Many men who arv preparing for a prufeaalon arc distinctly In jured by the last year or two In college. There are nnr men for whom the college atmoirphcre, aa dla llugulahed from that of the professional achool, la not a wholesome one. Men who In college Idle away their time lu many caaea find the more etrenuoua life of prufvaaloual tralu lug exactly aullrd to their needs. It docs not acem that the Harvard plan of three year meets with general favor, even In Cambridge, although, accord ing to the otllclal report, 40 per cent of the men now graduat ing from Harvard College finish their academic work in three years. It would seem to be a better plan to allow those who du nut contemplate a profeaslonat courae of study to take tho full four years of Work In college and to arrange for the other claaa to count their early professional work aa a part nt the work accepted fur the bachelur'a degree. A great forward step )n the direction of this policy baa been taken In the reeeut aetlou ot'Yalc. This policy has been adopted as the basin for Hie organization of the schools -of medicine and law In. the University of Chicago.
