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.
