M. A.

II. An advanced course, adapted especially to the requirements
of those who desire to become teachers of the classics.
It extends through one session of nine months. For admission
to this course, graduation in the preceding course is
required; but, when sufficiently prepared, students may be
allowed to pursue both courses simultaneously. In this

course the Syntax of the Verb is thoroughly studied, and
weekly exercises, including passages from modern English
authors, are given to be translated into idiomatic Greek.
Lectures are given on Rhythm and Metres, and the students
are practiced in reading rhythmically the lyric parts of the
Drama and the works of the Lyric Poets. The authors
read are Demosthenes, Æschylus, Sophocles, Aristophanes,
Thucydides, Pindar, and other Lyric Poets. The course
will be varied and modified as occasion may require.
Graduation in this course is prescribed for those who select
Greek as one of their studies for the degree of M. A.
