II.—SCHOOL OF GREEK.

PROF. GILDERSLEEVE.

The School is divided into three classes: Junior, Intermediate,
and Senior.

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.

The authors read in the Intermediate Class are principally: Lysias,
Xenophon, Herodotus, Homer, and Demosthenes; and in the Senior,
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, Browne's
Greek Literature.

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

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.

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.

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.
