COURSES OF INSTRUCTION GREEK 27' The study of this subject should, when possible, be preceded by at least one year of Latin. HISTORY Instruction in this subject is confined to English and American history. A detailed study of the rise and progress of the Englishspeaking people in England and America is made, and considerable attention is given to the origin and development of representative government. The work extends through one year; one-half of the time is devoted to English, and the other half to American history. The work, by terms, is as follows: 1. English History through the Revolution of 1688. Green's Shorter History of English People. 2. English History from 1688 to the present time, and American History to the Revolutionary War. Fiske's History of the United States. 3. American History from the Revolutionary War to the present time. LATIN The ground covered consists of the grammar and selections from Caesar, Sallust, Cicero, and Vergil. Translation of English into Latin is made a prominent part of the work, and in connection with the Vergil the scansion of hexameter verse and matters of historical and mythological interest are studied. The Roman method of pronunciation is used, with special attention to quantity. PHYSICS This study is so presented as to cultivate habits of careful observation, and to develop in the student the ability to reach general conclusions inductively by means of exact experiment. In all laboratory work the student is required to keep a notebook containing a complete record of experiments performed. PHYSICAL, TRAINING Preparatory students can now have the benefit of a thorough physical examination and regular exercise, under the guidance of University instructors. This will be required of all, under the same regulations as for University students. Those suffering from serious physical defects may be excused on the written advice of the Physical Director, and those who are working for self-support may be excused for the period so engaged.
