INTRODUCTORY

The aims of the Department of Latin are as follows:

1. To develop the power of rapid and intelligent reading, in the Roman order, and without translating.

In connection with this aim, but also for its independent value as a means of educating the higher literary taste, provision is made for practice in the writing of Latin: first, in connection with the work of the Junior Colleges, and, later, in Senior College courses.

2. To offer a wide range of reading in the important authors.

3. To provide for the systematic study of the life of the people in its various aspects-political, legal, social, religious, etc.-through special courses in Roman History, Roman Politics, Roman Private Life, Roman Religion, Roman Philosophy, and Roman Oratory. In addition, a course in Greek and Roman Art has been provided by the Department of the History of Art, and a course in Roman Law by the Department of Political Science.

4. To offer to students whose tastes lead in the direction of the historical side of the literature opportunities for the study of selected portions of Roman History from the sources.

5. To offer advanced courses partly by lectures, partly by practical exercises, and partly by work in the seminars in the study of the earliest existing remains of the language; in the interpretation of inscriptions; in the reading of facsimiles of manuscripts, and the treatment of problems of textual criticism; in the critical study of selected portions of some author; and in the comparative study of Greek and Latin syntax and the investigation of unsettled problems in this field. Provision is also made by the Department of Comparative Philology for courses in the Italic dialects, and in Latin grammar on the side of sounds and inflections.

6. To offer special opportunities for training to students who take up the teaching of Latin as a profession. These opportunities are increased by the resources presented by the School of Education.

Three kinds of courses are arranged: I. Courses in the study of the teaching of particular years, or parts of years, of the high-school course, with participation in this teaching, under the eyes of the instructor. (See courses 54-56 and 58.) II. More summarized courses in the individual authors taught in the high school. The work will be supplemented by visits to the corresponding classes in the School of Education (see course 57). III. More general courses, one in matters necessarily underlying all teaching of Latin, such as pronunciation, syntax, word-order, and the application of the knowledge of these subjects in acquiring power to read (see course 53), the other a broader course dealing with matters with which all teachers should have some degree of familiarity (see course 59).

Most students who are beginning graduate work will find it advisable to take further reading courses before electing courses of a more technical character. The work of the seminars can be done with most profit by those who have already spent a year or more in graduate study at the University.

All graduate courses, and the more advanced Senior College courses are accepted as work leading to a higher degree.

Candidates for the degree of Ph.D. in Latin and Greek (when Latin is the principal subject, Greek must be offered as a secondary subject; but work in the Romance languages may be offered as a second minor) will be expected to show, besides an intimate knowledge of the principles of the
