M. A.
II. An advanced course, adapted especially to the requirements of those who
desire to become teachers of the classics. It extends through one session of nine
months. For admission to this course, graduation in the preceding course is required;
but, when sufficiently prepared, students may be allowed to pursue both
courses simultaneously. In this course the Syntax of the Verb is thoroughly
studied, and weekly exercises, including passages from modern English authors,
are given to be translated into idiomatic Greek. Lectures are given on Rhythm
and Metres, and the students are practiced in reading rhythmically the lyric parts
of the Drama and the works of the Lyric Poets. The authors read are Demosthenes,
Æschylus, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Thucydides, Pindar, and other Lyric
Poets. The course will be varied and modified as occasion may require. Graduation
in this course is prescribed for those who select Greek as one of their studies
for the degree of M. A.
