Instruction is given by lectures, and by examinations upon the portions
of text assigned for recitation. The exercises of rendering Latin into
English, and English into Latin, in writing, constitute a prominent feature
in the course. In addition to the portions of the several authors
read in the lecture room, a course of extra and parallel reading is required
in each class. The examination for graduation is not limited to the portions
read in the lecture room, nor to the parallel reading. The different
systems of Latin versification are fully explained by lectures, and the
general subject applied by readings and metrical exercises.
Sanskrit.
The Professor of Latin will also give instruction in Sanskrit.
