M. A.
The Special Course embraces a systematic extension of
the General Course along the same lines, but is at once more
comprehensive and more specialized in certain directions;
incessant practice in translation and composition, gradually
increasing in difficulty, is continued; instruction in syntax,
in historical grammar, and in literature is given by lecture
and abstract; and an orderly reading of the great writers in
each language, chronologically arranged, is planned and
accomplished by class work and collateral reading.
