II.—MODERN LANGUAGES.

PROFESSOR SCHELE DE VERE.

The subjects taught in this school are:

1. The French, Italian, Spanish, and German Languages, and
the English in its Anglo-Saxon form, and their literature.

2. The History and Geography of Europe from the fall of the
Roman empire to the present day.

There are two classes in French, one for beginners, the other for
more advanced students; and the same arrangement is made, when
necessary, in the other languages. Opportunity is also given to
practise speaking the languages. The method of instruction is by
lectures, examinations, written exercises, and comments on the
text-books as read in the lecture room, the principal classic authors
in each language being used for this purpose.

Two degrees in this school are required as a condition for obtaining
the degree of A. M.
