I7O UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. LATIN. Two years will be devoted to this subject by all who do not select a modern language. The work covered will be five orations of Cicero, six books of Vergil's Aeneid, with scansion of hexameter verse and the translation of English sentences into Latin prose, based on the portions of Cicero above named. This will necessitate a thorough knowledge of the etymology and syntax of Latin grammar. Allen and Greenough' s Grammar, and Collar's Latin Prose Composition. The Roman method of pronunciation is used. GREEK. This will form a full study in the second year for all students in the classical course. Greek Grammar (Goodwin's), Moss's First Greek Reader, Greek Prose Composition (Collar and Daniel's), and three books of Xenophon's Anabasis. GERMAN AND FRENCH. These will be begun, as their early possession will greatly aid the University work, especially in science and engineering. The methods of teaching followed will be inductive; grammatical work being, from the first, based upon selected portions of standard works. The languages themselves will, as far as practicable, be used in the class room. jfoynes-Meissner's German Grammar, with foynes's German Reader; Bernhardt's Im Zwielicht 1. Van Daell's Beginning French, accompanied by suitable texts. FREE HAND DRAWING. This will be taught in the first term, that the pupils may have the benefit of its valuable training in the studies which follow. Frederick's Notes on Free Hand Drawing. PHYSIOLOGY. •This will be taken up first, because of its bearing on the health and habits of the pupils, and as being a suitable introduction to Zoology. Charts, skeleton, and manikin will be used, with illustrative material from the lower animals, to give a knowledge of the organs of the human body, their functions and relation to each other. Huxley's Elementary Physiology.
