SCHOOL OF LATIN.

The subjects taught are the Latin Language, and Roman History and
Literature. The School is divided into two classes, Junior and Senior.
Text-books:—Junior Class—Sallust, Ovid, Terence, Cicero de Officiis, Horace.
Senior Class—Horace, Seneca, Juvenal, Livy, Cicero, Tacitus.
Grammars:—Zumpt's, Gildersleeve's, Roby's, Printed Lectures of the Professor.

Roman History and Literature are taught in the Senior Class.
Instruction is given by lectures, and by examinations upon the portions
of text assigned for recitation. Written exercises in rendering Latin into
English, and English into Latin, constitute a prominent feature in the
course. In addition to the portions of the several authors read in the
lecture room, a course of extra and parallel reading is required in each
class. The examination for graduation is not limited to the portions
read in the lecture-room, nor to the parallel reading. The different
systems of Latin versification are fully explained by lectures, and the
general subject applied by readings and metrical exercises.
Sanskrit.—The Professor will also give instruction in Sanskrit.
