III.—MODERN LANGUAGES.
PROFESSOR SCHELE DE VERE.
ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR, JOS. WALL.
The subjects taught in this school, are:
1. The French, Italian, Spanish and German Languages, and
the English in its Anglo-Saxon form.
2. The Literature of these Languages, and the history of
each idiom.
3. The History and Geography of Europe, from the fall of
the Roman Empire to the present day.
Instruction is also given in Comparative Philology and the
principles of the Science of Language.
There are three classes in French and two in German, one for
beginners, the others for more advanced students; and the same
arrangement is made, when necessary, in the other languages.
Opportunity is also given, in private, to practice 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 for the degree of
A. M.
