II.—MODERN LANGUAGES.

PROFESSOR SCHELE DE VERE.

The subjects taught in this school are:

1. The French, Italian, Spanish, and German Languages, and
the English in its Anglo-Saxon form, and their literature.

2. The History and Geography of Europe from the fall of the
Roman empire to the present day.

There are two classes in French, one for beginners, the other
for more advanced students; and the same arrangement is made,
when necessary, in the other languages. Opportunity is also
given to practise speaking the languages. The method of instruction
is by lectures, examinations, written exercises, and
comments on the text-books as read in the lecture-room, the
principal classic authors in each language being used for this
purpose.

Two degrees in this school are required as a condition for obtaining
the degree of A. M.
