Italian.
Course 3: French 1 and 2 or Spanish 1 and 2 prerequisite.—One
course is offered, for which no previous knowledge of Italian is required.

through a series of graded texts to the point where Modern Italian is
read with ease. Several of the more important monuments of the Nineteenth
Century are read and discussed; after which the attention of the
class is directed to Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. The history of Italian
Literature is studied, and also that of the Renaissance. Text-books, first
term: Grandgent's Grammar; Millhouse's Dictionary; Amicis, Alberto;
Barrili, Una Notte Bizzarra. Prof. Wilson.
