SCHOOL OF GREEK.

Prof. Price.

The school is divided into three classes—Junior, Intermediate, and
Senior. The method of instruction is by lectures (systematic and exegetical),
by examination, and by written and oral exercises.

Junior Class.—The Junior Class, for which a full knowledge of the Attic inflections
and some experience in translation are demanded, is intended especially for them that
wish to acquire a practical familiarity with the simpler Attic prose, both in reading and
in writing it. The authors read in this class are Xenophon and Lysias.

Grammars.—Curtius's.

History.—Fyffe's and Cox's Histories.

Intermediaee Class.—The Intermediate Class is intended to give a knowledge of
the Ionic and Doric Dialects. The authors read are Homer, Herodotus, and Theocritus.

Text-books.—Curtius's Grammar.

Senior Class.—Demosthenes, Plato, Thucydides, Sophocles or Euripides.

Grammars.—Goodwin's Moods and Tenses, and Curtius's Grammar.

Lexicons.—Liddell and Scott, and Veitch's Greek Verbs.

Metres.—Schmidt's Introduction to Rythm and Metre.

The Geography and Political History of Greece are taught in the
Junior Class, Political and Religious Antiquities in the Intermediate, and
History of Literature, Metres and Historical Grammar in the Senior.

For each class a private course of reading also is prescribed.

From each class written exercises in Greek composition are required
every week.

In the examination of candidates for graduation, the passages given
for translation are selected, not from the portions read and explained in
the lecture-room, but from the classic writers at will.

Post-Graduate Department.—The Post-Graduate Department has
been instituted for the benefit of graduates and others that wish to pursue
a more extended course of reading. The authors read in this department
are such as are, either by their form or subjects, less suited for
the regular school; e. g. Æschylus, Aristophanes, and Aristotle.

HEBREW.

The Professor of Greek will give instruction in Hebrew also whenever
the demand for such instruction is sufficient to make the institution of a
course of lectures expedient.

Grammar.—Deutch's.
