For Undergraduates.

Greek A1: For beginners. This course is designed to meet the
needs of students who wish to gain in a short time a working knowledge
of Greek, either as an aid to the study of other subjects (e. g.,
languages, history, theology), or with a view to entering upon a
more extended study of Greek. It is to be especially noted that this
course is by no means intended to supplant the work of the secondary
schools, but to make good, so far as may be, the loss of those
students who have missed the much more normal and satisfactory

training which the schools can give. The course consists of a rapid
and thorough drill in the forms and fundamental principles of the
language, and of practice in translation, which receives an increasingly
large proportion of emphasis as the session advances.
