The Professor of Latin will also give instruction in Sanskrit.
SCHOOL OF GREEK.
Prof. Price.
The school is divided into three classes—Junior, Intermediate, and
Senior. The method of instruction is by lectures (systematic and exegetical),
by examination, and by written and oral exercises.
Junior Class.—The Junior Class, for which a full knowledge of the Attic inflections
and some experience in translation are demanded, is intended especially for them that
wish to acquire a practical familiarity with the simpler Attic prose, both in reading and
in writing it. The authors read in this class are Xenophon and Lysias.
Grammars.—Curtius's.

regularly devoted; but exercises in literary compositions are required
from the members of the Literary class. Each study may be pursued
separately.
Class of History.
In the Historical Class the successions, revolutions, and various aspects
of the principal nations of the world are considered in such a manner as
to afford a general and connected view of the progress of political and
social organizations. Institutions and laws are noted as the manifestations
of different phases of society; an attempt is made to discover and
elucidate the conditions of historical advancement, and to refer the
changes of nations and governments to the operation of regular principles.
Text-Books.—Smith's History of Greece; Merivale's Smaller History of Rome,
(Puller's Abridgment); Gibbon, abridged by Smith; Modern History, Text-Book
to be indicated hereafter.

Composition, Rhetoric, and the English Classics, with the History
of English Literature, are studied.
The origin, growth, and philological peculiarities of the Language are
considered; the various influences, domestic and external, by which it
has been brought to its present condition, are explained; the general
eminent authors in the language are treated in their historical order and
connection; and the critical examination and appreciation of their chief
productions occupy much of the time of the student. The class will also
be required to practise Literary Composition.

their studies beyond the limits of the Pure Mathematics. It embraces
Applications of the Differential and Integral Calculus to selected
portions of Mechanics, Physics, and Physical Astronomy. There is one
class in Mixed Mathematics.
In the class of Mixed Mathematics there are two Lectures each week.
The instruction in each class in the School of Mathematics is conveyed
partly by lectures and partly by the systematic study of approved textbooks.
The student is assisted by full and frequent explanations from
the Professor, and constantly subjected to rigid examinations. The progress
of the student in each class is also tested by his being required to
perform written exercises, in which the principles acquired are applied to
the solution of particular problems.
Any student entering the school has the privilege of attending all or
any of the classes, and if prepared to enter an advanced class, may often
find it highly advantageous to review his previous studies by attendance
on a lower class also.
SCHOOL OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.
Prof. Smith.
This School includes two departments—General Physics and Practical
Physics.
I. General Physics.
Junior Class.—The Junior Class meets three times in each week
throughout the session of nine months. The object of the course of
of Modern Physics, and to make him familiar with its methods of investigation.
With the design of laying a thoroughly scientific basis for the
course, a large space is given at the outset to the discussion of the cardinal
doctrines of motion, force and energy, and to their simpler applications
in the pressure and motion of visible masses.
With this preparation the student proceeds to the subject of Molecular
Physics, embracing Sound, Light, Heat and Electricity. Throughout the
course the established laws of motion and force are kept steadily in view,
and an attempt is made to exhibit the evidence, daily becoming stronger
