In the arrangement of the studies the endeavor is to present a thorough and extended drill in grammatical and philological study, and in the authors and history of the English language, affording a training equivalent to the ordinary studies of the classical language. This drill extends through three years of the course. The first two terms of the first year are given to a general survey of the whole field of British and American literature from the middle of the sixteenth century to the present time. All the representative writers come into notice, and representative specimens from the writings of each are carefully read in class. Moreover, each student is required each term to read an entire work of some classic author, making choice from a prescribed list. Frequent exercises in writing abstracts, or original compositions on themes assigned, are also required. The study of rhetoric occupies the third term.
