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.
