62 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. During the second year a few of the great masters are studied, their work analyzed, and the shaping forces of their times, with their influences upon succeeding times, are investigated. Lectures are given from time to time on topics relating to the class work. Writing and reading required as in first year. In the senior year the first term is devoted to early English (A. D. 500-1200), for which the way has been prepared by the study of both English and German. In the second term the study of middle English (A. D. 1200-1500) is taken up, and during the third term philology is studied. Essays, forensics, and orations are required. French and German.—The course in modern languages in this school embraces two years of French and two years of German. The chief aim is mastery in translation and composition, constant attention being also given to the etymologies common to these languages and the En. glish; the study is thus made to contribute to the student's knowledge of his own tongue, and to the power of expression in the same. In the first year the student completes the study of a grammar and reader, acquiring a knowledge of the technicalities of the idiom, with a vocabulary sufficient for the use of books of reference in his course. The second year is devoted to a course of select reading and composition, involving a critical study of the languages and their literature. French and German are used in the class room as a means of conversation, as far as practicable, but this is made subordinate to-the main purpose, which is to enable the student to read the languages with ease rather than to speak them indifferently.
