COURSES OF INSTRUCTION GREEK 273 The study of this subject should, when possible, be preceded by at least one year of Latin. For particulars see entrance requirements, p. 48. 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. Green's Shorter History of the English People; Fiske's History of the United States, and Civil Government. 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 note-book containing a complete record of experiments performed. PHYSICAL TRAINING Preparatory students may have the benefit of a thorough physical examination and regular exercise, under the guidance of University instructors, but not for either entrance or University credits. PHYSIOLOGY In this subject the book used is illustrated by the use of charts, skeleton, and manikin, and by a series of laboratory experiments. Colton's Physiology. ZOOLOGY Through the study of typical animals the subject is so presented as to lead the student to a knowledge of methods of scientific classification in the natural sciences, and to prepare for the more advanced work of the University. Kingsley's Comparative Zoology and collateral reading.
