B. A. COURSE.

The General Course embraces such a knowledge of the selected language
as an intelligent student may be expected to acquire in one year.
Some previous preparation is most desirable. The aim of this course is to
acquaint the student with the pronunciation, phonology, grammar,
and general syntax of the language through systematic oral and written
practice, to initiate him into the literature through easy and
abundant reading, and to lay a solid foundation for the prosecution of
his Special and Advanced courses, if he elects to continue his studies
in this School.
