II.—SCHOOL OF GREEK.

PROF. GILDERSLEEVE.

The School is divided into three classes: Junior, Intermediate
and Senior.

The Junior Class is intended especially for those, who desire
to make a thorough review of the inflections and to acquire a
practical familiarity with the great principles of the language.
The only author read in this class is Xenophon.

Grammar.—Kühner's Elementary.

The authors read in the Intermediate Class are principally:
Lysias, Xenophon, Herodotus, Homer and Demosthenes: and
in the Senior Thucydides, Sophocles, Euripides and Plato.

Grammars.—Hadley's and Kühner's.

Lexicon.—Liddell and Scott's: Smith's History of Greece.

A private course of parallel and preparatory reading is also
prescribed for each class.

The Post-Graduate Department for the benefit of graduates
and others, who wish to pursue a more extended course of
reading, will be revived. The authors read in this department
are such as are either by their form or subjects less suited for
the regular school, e. g., Æschylus, Aristophanes and Aristotle.

Hebrew.—The professor of Greek will also give instruction
in Hebrew, whenever the demand for such instruction is sufficient
to make the institution of a course of lectures expedient.
