Ancient Languages shall have a clear knowledge of the history of Greek and Latin Literature, and of the principal authors in both languages. As an aid to the appreciation of the literature of the two peoples, Greek and Roman history will form an "important part of the course, and will be taken up in the beginning, illustrating the works read. In the first term of the third year Ancient History is taken up as a separate study, and especial attention is then given to the history of Greece and Rome, and the nations with whom thev^came in contact. Classes will be formed for the students who- wish to carry their classical study farther than the prescribed course, and every assistance will be given them.
