Instruction in the School of Ancient Languages and Literature, while aiming to impart a sufficiently full and critical knowledge of the Latin and Greek languages and writings, makes the study of these tongues subservient, in a more than usual degree, to a critical and correct use of the English. With this view, written translations, carefully prepared, with due attention to differences, equivalences, and substitutions of idioms, and the comparison and discrimination of synonyms, form a part of the entire course. The study of Latin and Greek composition is continued through the first year, and, to some extent, through the course. Essays, historical and critical, are required from time to time, in connection with the works read, and a free use of the library is urged. It is intended that each student who completes the course in 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 form an important part of the course, and are 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 they came in contact. Classes will be formed for students who wish to carry their classical study SCHOOL. OF
