M. A.
II. An advanced course, adapted specially 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 Meters, 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,
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.
