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, Goodwin'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.

In the examination 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.

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.

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.
