SCHOOL OF GREEK.
Prof. Wheeler.
The School is divided into three classes, Junior, Intermediate, and
Senior. The method of instruction is by lectures, by examination, and
by written and oral exercises.
The Junior Class, for which a full knowledge of the Attic inflections
and some experience in translation are demanded, is intended especially
for those who wish to acquire a practical familiarity with the simpler Attic
prose. The geography and political history of Greece are taught in the
Junior Class, political and religious antiquities in the Intermediate, and
the history of literature, metres and historical grammar in the Senior.
Junior Class.—The authors read in this class are Xenophon and Lysias. Grammar:—Goodwin's.
History:—Fyffe's and Cox's.
Intermediate Class.—The authors read are Homer, Herodotus and Theocritus.
Grammar:—Goodwin's.
Senior Class.—Demosthenes, Plato, Thucydides, Sophocles, Euripides. Grammars:—Goodwin's
Moods and Tenses, and Goodwin's Grammar. Lexicons:—Liddell
and Scott, and Veitch's Greek Verbs. Metres:—Schmidt's Introduction to Rhythm
and Metre.
For each class a course of private reading is prescribed.
From each class exercises in Greek composition are required weekly.
In the examination of candidates for graduation, the passages given
for translation are selected from the classic writers at will.
Hebrew.—The Professor will also give instruction in Hebrew.
