II—MODERN LANGUAGES.
Professor Blættermann.—The languages taught in this school,
are the French, Spanish, Italian, German and Anglo Saxon; and if desired,
will also be taught, the Danish, Swedish, Hollandish and Portuguese
Languages. In each of them, there are two classes, the senior and
the junior, together with a third class for those who wish to qualify themselves
for degrees in this school, as it is required that two degrees be obtained
in modern languages before that of A. M. will be conferred. Besides
the oral translations in the lecture room, the Students are required to
write, as regular exercises out of the lecture rooms, translations from the
foreign language into English, and vice versa. Lectures on the Literature
of each of the nations whose languages are taught, are delivered twice
a week, by the Professor; as also lectures on Modern History, and the
political relations of the different civilized nations of the present day. The
text-books used are the principal classics in each language.
