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
those subjects. 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
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.
1. Beginners' Latin.—This course is intended for teachers in high
schools and academies, for college preparation and for students of

the fundamental principles of the syntax of the cases, tenses,
and moods, the accusative and infinitive, relative and conditional
sentences, uses of the subjunctive; and the main laws of indirect discourse.
These grammatical principles will be illustrated in systematic
exercises in translating easy detached sentences into Latin;
translation into English of easy Latin prose preparatory to Cæsar
will also be required.
