COLLEGE COURSES.
Courses 5 and 6, offered to as many as five applicants in each,
are intended to open up to teachers and summer students the more important
fields of college Latin. They are devoted to the broad cultural
study of the language, literature, and life of the Romans. Roman
civilization is the link between the Hellenic and the modern: the instruction
will aim, therefore, to exhibit this relation, and so, to emphasize
the unity and continuity of all human culture. The desirability
of a knowledge of Greek and of at least one Romanic language
is especially commended to all who would reap the full cultural and
scientific benefit of the college course in Latin: the Greek illumines
incomparably all parts of Latin study, which in turn bears fascinatingly
upon the Romanic.
5. Livy Course (one third College course).—For teachers in colleges,
for college students, and for students of Latin at large.
This course is identical with that of the first term of 3B in the
catalogue of the University of Virginia. It involves Livy's Hannibalic War,
Books XXI-XXII, with collateral reading in Tacitus' Germania,
and the private and public life of the Romans. The study of the
author will be grammatical, literary, and culture-historical. Constant
exercise in sight reading. College Latin grammar and exercises
based on Livy.
(a) Grammar and Prose Composition: College Latin grammar and
prose composition (ten entire exercises in Nutting, beginning 6, 16, etc.).
Wednesday and Friday. Professor Montgomery.
(b) Literature and Life: Livy and Tacitus; the private and public
life of the Romans.

6. Horace Course (One third College course).—For teachers in
colleges, for college students, and for students of Latin at large.
This course is identical with that of the second term of 3B in the
University of Virginia catalogue. It involves Horace's Odes and
Epodes and Vergil's Bucolics; the rythm of lyric and idyllic verse;
the outlines of the art life of the Greeks and Romans; college grammar
and prose composition.
