CLASSICAL ARCHÆOLOGY AND HISTORY OF ART.

The Museum of Classical Archæology contains a collection of casts which furnishes ample material for the illustration of the history of Greek and Roman sculptural art. The museum is also equipped with a fine collection of Greek coins, with a full set of the British museum electrotypes, with a collection of Greek vases representing the periods of Greek ceramic art, and with various plans, models, and reconstructions.

Course 3, the shorter course of lectures on Greek sculpture in the museum, will give the student a knowledge of the general history of the development of Greek art, such a knowledge as will enable him to view the treasures of the larger museums of this country and of Europe intelligently. The two hour course will give more opportunity for independent investigation. This course will be attractive to all who desire a somewhat more definite and intimate acquaintance with the work of the best Greek sculptors, and to those who would value the ability to recognize the beauties, spirit, and meaning of ancient art.

The courses in Greek Archæology and in Pausanias are planned to

be of profit to those who would be glad to acquire, for a knowledge of the Greek language and literature or of Greek history, a background of acquaintance with the Greek people in their artistic and industrial activities, or of the land, the cities and the temples of Greece. The course in Pausanias pre-supposes ability to read Greek prose readily. The Archæological Seminary is intended primarily for those who desire specializing work in Greek architecture and Greek epigraphy. Courses I, 2, 4, and 5 will prepare for the examinations for the Athens fellowships.

COMPARATIVE PHILOLOGY.

The work in comparative philology is planned with reference to the needs first, of the general student with linguistic interests; second, of those proposing to be teachers of language, and more especially, of the classical languages; third, of those who propose to devote themselves to the special scientific study of the Indo-European languages. To the first mentioned class of students, course I is especially adapted. For those who propose to be teachers of other than the classical languages, courses 2 and 4 are recommended in addition to Course I. The courses on Greek and Latin grammar, the course on the Greek dialects, and the Seminary work are of the first importance for prospective teachers of the classics, and for such work a prelim

inary study of the elements of Sanscrit is considered desirable though not absolutely essential. The course in Gothic grammar is intended both for students of comparative philology and for specialists in Teutonic, including English, philology. Attention is called to the courses offered by the English department in Gothic, in English philology, and in the history of the English language; also to the philological courses offered by the departments of Semitic languages, Germanic languages and Romanic languages.

Bracketed courses are not given in 1899-1900.

GREEK.

The courses of study in this department have been arranged with distinct reference to the belief that the choice of Greek as a subject of study during the first two years of the college course should not imply an intention on the part of the student to specialize in Greek.

The work of the freshman year is directed toward cultivating the ability of reading easily and at sight. Authors of the simplest style have therefore been selected-Lysias and Plato as representatives of the purest Attic type, and the Odyssey of Homer, of the Epic. The first term of the year will include, in connection with the reading of Lysias, a thorough review of the fundamentals of accidence and syntax, and exercises in Greek composition will be required throughout the year.

The work of the sophomore year aims at giving the student some acquaintance with the scope and meaning of Greek literature and with the characteristics of Greek thought.

The work adapted to specializing study falls under three distinct heads :

1. The literature. Eleven reading courses accompanied by lectures are offered, nine of which are given this year, viz., a supplementary sophomore course, a junior course, a course in the orators, a course in the elegiac and lyric poets, a course in the tragedians, a course in Aristophanes, a course in Plato, a course in Aristotle, a course in Theophrastus, a course in Pausanias, a course in New Testament Greek. Besides these the study of some one Greek author is taken up in alternate years in the Seminary.

2. The antiquities. Course 9 treats of the entire equipment and environment of ancient Greek life, its usage and occupations, its ideas and institutions. Course 10 offers a history of the literature, course II of the political and legal antiquities, course 12 of the religion. The department of Classical Archæology offers also courses in Greek art and archæology, and in epigraphy, and the department of Architecture a course in ancient architecture.

3. The language. A course in Advanced Prose Composition will give maturer students an opportunity for practicing the writing of Greek under the direct personal supervision of a teacher, and for instruction in special questions of syntax and style. All students who intend to become specialists in Greek are advised to take the course, if possible, both in the junior and senior years. The Teachers' Course in Greek is also adapted to the needs of undergraduates who expect to teach the classics. Lectures on Greek grammar from a historical point of view are given in alternate years and are intended for seniors and graduates.

The exercises of the philological seminary are especially adapted to the needs of graduate students, and introduce the student to the original sources of information concerning the language and its history, and accustom him to methods of independent investigation. The seminary room in the new library building has been equipped with a reference library of over two thousand volumes and will be used as a regular study-room and laboratory by the more advanced students.

A course in Elementary Greek has been added for the advantage of non-Greek students, who for any reason may have found it, though late in their college course, desirable to acquire at least a rudimentary knowledge of the language, and are willing to incur the labor incident to doing two years' work in one. The acknowledged purpose of the course is to attain within one year of extraordinary effort a reading knowledge of Attic prose and all other objects are made secondary to this. The course cannot, without much additional study, serve as a preparation for the entrance examinations in Greek. The course in Modern Greek should be taken by all who intend to specialize in archæology, or who plan to continue their studies in Greece. Bracketed courses will not be given in 1899-1900.
