B. A. COURSE.

The General Course embraces such a knowledge of
the selected language as an intelligent student may be
expected to acquire in one year. Some previous preparation
is most desirable. The aim of this course is to acquaint the
student with the pronunciation, phonology, grammar, and

general syntax of the language through systematic oral and
written practice, to initiate him into the literature through
easy and abundant reading, and to lay a solid foundation for
the prosecution of his Special and Advanced courses, if he
elects to continue his studies in this School.
