CLASSICAL PHILOLOGY.
It will be the aim of the courses in Latin and Greek to open to all
teachers and students the advantages of University instruction in that
subject. Courses 1-4 are especially intended to illustrate the teaching
of Latin in the secondary schools. Courses 5-7 are intended to open
to teachers and summer students the more important fields of
college Latin. The desirability of a knowledge of Greek and of at
least one Romanic language is specially commended to all who wish
to reap the full cultural and scientific benefit of the college courses
in Latin. Greece is the fountain head of European culture, and Rome
its universalizer and transmitter to the modern world. The
instruction will aim to exhibit these relations and thus to emphasize
the unity and continuity of all human culture. Course 1 is
preparatory. Thereafter the work is organized in all courses as
follows: Latin language—systematic study of Latin grammar,
with oral and written exercises in prose composition; Latin literature—systematic
study of the Latin authors, as nearly as possible in
culture-historical sequence; Roman life—systematic study of Roman
culture-history in English, in conjunction with the reading of the
authors
