II.—MODERN LANGUAGES.

Professor Blættermann.—The languages taught, in this school, are
the French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Anglo Saxon; and if desired,
will also be taught, the Danish, Swedish, Hollandish and Portuguese
Languages. In each of them, there are two classes, the senior and the
junior, together with a third class for those who wish to qualify themselves
for degrees in this school, as it is required that two degrees be
obtained in modern languages before that of A. M. will be conferred.—
Besides the oral translations in the lecture room, the students are required
to write, as regular exercises out of the lecture rooms, translations
from the foreign language into English, and vice versa. Lectures
on the Literature of each of the nations whose languages are taught,

are delivered twice a week, by the Professor; as also lectures on Modern
History, and the political relations of the different civilized nations of the
present day. The text-books used are the principal classics in each
language.
