II.—SCHOOL OF GREEK.
PROF. GILDERSLEEVE.
The subjects taught in this school are:
1. The Greek language.
2. Greek literature.
3. History of Greece.
The method of instruction comprises lectures, (systematic and
exegetical,) examinations and exercises (oral and written.) The
school is divided into two classes, Junior and Senior. The authors
read in the Senior Class are principally: Thucydides, Sophocles,
Euripides, Plato; in the Junior Class: Lysias, Xenophon, Herodotus,
Homer and Demosthenes. Grammars—Hadley's and Kühner's;
Lexicon—Liddell and Scott's: Smith's History of Greece.
for each class.
The Post Graduate Department for the benefit of graduates and
others, who wish to pursue a more extended course of reading, will
be revived. The authors read in this department are such as are
either by their form or their subjects less suited for the regular
school, e. g., Æschylus, Aristophanes and Aristotle.
To less advanced students facilities will be afforded of a thorough
review of the Elements of the Greek language.
Hebrew.—The Professor of Greek will also give instruction in
Hebrew, whenever the demand for such instruction is sufficient to
make the institution of a course of lectures expedient.
