SCHOOL OF GREEK.

Prof. Gildersleeve.

The School is divided into three classes: Junior, Intermediate, and
Senior. The method of instruction comprises lectures (systematic and
exegetical,) examinations, written and oral exercises.

Junior Class.—The Junior Class is intended especially for those
who desire to make a thorough review of the inflections and to acquire
a practical familiarity with the great principles of the language.
The only author read in this class is Xenophon.

Grammar.—Kühner's Elementary.

Intermediate Class.—Lysias, Xenophon, Herodotus, Homer, and
Demosthenes.

Senior Class.—Thucydides, Sophocles, Euripides, and Plato.

Grammars.—Hadley's, Kühner's, Goodwin's Moods and Tenses.

Liddell and Scott's Lexicon, Smith's History of Greece.

A private course of parallel and preparatory reading is also prescribed
for each class.

The weekly exercises constitute a prominent feature in the plan of
instruction.

Post Graduate Department.—The Post Graduate Department
has been instituted for the benefit of graduates and others who wish
to pursue a more extended course of reading. The authors read in
this department are such as are either by their form or subjects less
suited for the regular school, e. g. Æschylus, Aristophanes, and
Aristotle.

In the examinations of candidates for graduation in Latin and
Greek, the passages given for the written translations are selected, not
from the portions of authors which have been read and explained in
the lecture room, but from the classic writers at will.

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.

Grammar. — Deutsch's.
