A catalogue of the officers and students of the University of Virginia

The subjects taught in this school are the Latin Language and Literature,
with the History of Rome. The school is divided into two classes
—Junior and Senior.

Text books. Junior Class—Sallust, Ovid, Terence, Cicero de Officiis, Horace.

Senior Class—Horace, Seneca, Juvenal, Livy, Cicero, Tacitus.

Grammars. Zumpt's, Gildersleeve's, Roby's, Printed Lectures of the Professor.

Lexicons. Andrew's, or Freunds' Leverett.

History. Browne's Roman Literature, Liddell's Rome, Long's Atlas.

Instruction is given by lectures, and by examinations upon the portions
of text assigned for recitation. The exercises of rendering Latin into
English, and English into Latin, in writing, constitute a prominent feature
in the course. In addition to the portions of the several authors
read in the Lecture room, a course of extra and parallel reading is required
in each class. The examination for graduation is not limited to the portions
read in the lecture room, nor to the parallel reading. The different
systems of Latin versification are fully explained by lectures, and the
general subject applied by readings and metrical exercises.

Note.—Post-Graduate Class. This class is composed of students who have
graduated in the school of Latin, and who desire a wider acquaintance with Latin
than is implied in graduation. Authors not embraced in the regular course are
read and closely studied. Special attention is given to translation: and a prominent
feature of the lecture-room exercises is the discussion by members of the class of the
text translated. The vocabulary acquired by extensive translation is frequently applied
in rendering into Latin English selected for the purpose.

Sanskrit.

The Professor of Latin will also give instruction in Sanskrit.

SCHOOL OF GREEK.

Prof. Price.

The school is divided into three classes—Junior, Intermediate, and
Senior. The method of instruction is by lectures (systematic and exegetical),
by examination, and by written and oral exercises.

Junior Class.—The Junior Class, for which a full knowledge of the Attic inflections
and some experience in translation are demanded, is intended especially for those that
wish to acquire a practical familiarity with the simpler Attic prose, both in reading and
in writing it. The authors read in this class are Xenophon and Lysias.

Grammar.—Curtius's.

History.—Fyffe's and Cox's Histories.

Intermediate Class.—The Intermediate Class is intended to give a knowledge of
the Ionic and Doric Dialects. The authors read are Homer, Herodotus, and, Theocritus.

Text-book.—Curtius's Grammar.

Senior Class.—Demosthenes, Plato, Thucydides, Sophocles or Euripides.

Grammars.—Goodwin's Moods and Tenses, and Curtius's Grammar.

Lexicons,—Liddell and Scott, and Veitch's Greek Verbs.

Junior Class, Political and Religious Antiquities in the Intermediate, and
the History of Literature, Metres and Historical Grammar in the Senior.

For each class a private course of reading also is prescribed.

From each class written exercises in Greek composition are required
every week.

In the examination of candidates for graduation, the passages given
for translation are selected, not from the portions read and explained in
the lecture-room, but from the classic writters at will.

Post-Graduate Department.—The Post-Graduate Department has
been instituted for the benefit of graduates and others that wish to pursue
a more extended course of reading. 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 give instruction in Hebrew also, whenever
the demand for such instruction is sufficient to make the institution of
a course of lectures expedient.

CORCORAN SCHOOL OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY.

Prof. Noah K. Davis.

The subjects of this school are treated as follows:

I. In Psychology, the Cognitive Powers are viewed as modes of
consciousness, and distributed as Presentative and Representative. The
discussion, having involved the Laws of Pure thought, is followed immediately
by the course in Logic. The psychology of the Sensibilities
and Will is then considered, followed by the course in Ethics. Constant
appeal is made to reflective consciousness as the ultimate test of truth
in Psychological Science.

Text-Books.—Hamilton's Metaphysics, Mansel's Metaphysics; Kant's Critique of
Pure Reason.

II. In Logic both the Aristotelic and Hamiltonian analyses are applied
to many examples, and select arguments reduced to syllogistic statement.
Special attention is given to the nature and methods of inductive inference.

Text-Books.—Hamilton's Logic, Mill's Logic. The Theory of Thought.

III. In Ethics the intuitional theory is maintained against utilitarianism.
The chief problems of ethical science are discussed, and its principles
applied to personal and social duty.

Text-Books.—Calderwood's Hand Book of Moral Philosophy, Stewart's Active and
Moral Powers.

IV. In Phlosophy an outline of the history of speculation is given,
from Plato to Hegel. The opinions of the various schools are sketched,
the views of different philosophers compared and criticised, and the principles
of Ontology examined.

Text-Books.—Ueberweg's History of Philosophy.

The class is examined on the subject as developed by the lectures,
supplemented by such portions of the text-books as may be indicated by
the Professor.

Political Economy.

Those studying this subject constitute a separate class. The lectures
discuss the relations of Labor and Capital, also various systems of
Currency, Banking, Finance, and Taxation, with special reference to what
is peculiar in the physical condition, political and social institutions, and
industrial pursuits of our own country. Fundamental questions in Sociology
are also considered.

Text-Books.—Mill's Principles of Political Economy.

CORCORAN SCHOOL OF HISTORY, GENERAL LITERATURE
AND RHETORIC.

Prof. Holmes.

This school is divided into two distinct classes—one of History, and
one of Literature and Rhetoric. To each two lectures in the week are
regularly devoted; but exercises in literary composition are required
from the members of the Literary Class. Each study may be pursued
separately.

Class of History.

In the Historical Class the successions, revolutions, and various aspects
of the principal nations of the world are considered in such a manner as
to afford a general and connected view of the progress of political and
social organizations. Institutions and laws are noted as the manifestations
of different phases of society; an attempt is made to discover and elucidate
the conditions of historical advancement, and to refer the changes
of nations and governments to the operation of regular principles.

Text-Books.—Smith's History of Greece; Merivale's Smaller History of Rome,
(Puller's Abridgment); Gibbon, abridged by Smith; Modern History, Text-Book to
be indicated hereafter.

Class of Literature and Rhetoric.

In the Class of Literature and Rhetoric, the English Language, English
Composition, Rhetoric, and the English Classics, with the History
of English Literature, are studied.

The origin, growth, and philological peculiarities of the Language are
considered; the various influences, domestic and external, by which it
has been brought to its present condition, are explained; the general
principles of Rhetoric and Criticism are taught; the lives of the most
eminent authors in the language are treated in their historical order and
connection; and the critical examination and appreciation of their chief
productions occupy much of the time of the student. The class will
also be required to practise Literary Composition.

Text-Books.—Jamieson's Grammar of Rhetoric; — History of the English
Language; Shaw's Complete Manual of English Literature, Ed. Smith and Tuckerman;
Student's Specimens of English Literature, Ed. Shaw and Smith.
