2. Outlines of the Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin (Sounds and Inflections). This course, which is intended primarily for classical students, though also adapted to the needs of students of Germanic or Romance Philology, is meant to be eminently practical, emphasizing those relations which can be understood from a study of the Greek and Latin languages themselves, and the facts which are most helpful to an understanding of the historical development in each language. Mj. Autumn, 10:45, PROFESSOR BUCK.

3. Exercises in Greek and Latin Historical Grammar Based on the Study of Selected Inscriptions.-The time is equally divided between Greek and Latin, and either half may be taken separately as a minor. Mj. or M. Winter, 11:45, PROFESSOR BUCK.

13. History of Sanskrit Literature. The aim of this course is to give a brief survey of the literature of India—a literature of no small intrinsic value and one which offers much that is of interest to the occidental student. An effort will be made to gain some intelligent appreciation of the social and intellectual conditions under which this literature was produced, and to form some conception of its place in the literature and thought of the world. No knowledge of Sanskrit or Pali is necessary, but a large amount of reading in translations will be required. Mj. Winter, 9:15, DR. CLARK.

14. The Religions of India.—The aim of this course is to give a brief outline of the religion and mythology of the Vedas and an account of the three great Hindu religions-Brahmanism, Buddhism, and Hinduism.

A few introductory lectures will be given treating of the country and people, of the general characteristics of Hindu modes of thought, of Sanskrit literature, of political history, and of the growth of social institutions. Mj. Summer, 2:30, DR. CLARK.

philosophical systems. Especial attention will be paid to the Vedanta, the Samkhya, and the Yoga systems. Mj. Spring, 2:30, DR. CLARK.

INTRODUCTORY

Ability to read Greek with accuracy and ease and intelligent enjoyment of the masterpieces of Greek literature are the indispensable prerequisites of all higher Greek scholarship. All other interests that may attach to the study are subordinate to these, and their pursuit is positively harmful if it prematurely distracts the student's attention from his main purpose.

In the work of the Junior Colleges the Department will keep this principle steadily in view, and will endeavor to teach a practical knowledge of Greek vocabulary and idiom, and to impart literary and historic culture by means of rapid viva voce translation and interpretation of the simpler masterpieces of the literature. The authors especially studied will be Homer, Xenophon's Memorabilia and Hellenica, with two or three of the minor Platonic dialogues, a few of the easier Greek orations, selections from Herodotus and Thucydides, and several Greek plays. In the Senior Colleges the chief stress will still be laid on reading and exegesis, but the range of authors presented to the student's choice will be enlarged to include Pindar and Bacchylides, further study of the drama, Theocritus and the Greek lyric poets, the Attic orators, Thucydides, Aristotle, and Plato. Special courses will also be given in archaeology, epigraphy, private and public antiquities, and literary history.

The ultimate aim of the graduate work is to train finished scholars, teachers, and investigators. Great pains will be taken, however, to avoid the too common error of hurrying into investigation students who lack the indispensable preliminary knowledge of the Greek language and literature. The Department will make a distinct effort to provide for the needs of students of this type. The opportunities of the Senior Colleges will be open to them, and suitable graduate courses are provided for them; they will also be admitted to the seminar as listeners and, to the extent of their ability, as active participants, on condition that they at the same time pursue special auxiliary courses of reading organized for them in connection with the seminar.

Candidates for the Doctor's degree in Greek (and where Greek is the major subject Latin must be offered as the minor) will be expected to show, in addition to an intimate knowledge of the principles of the two languages and facility in using them, a familiarity with Greek and Roman history, the history of Greek and Latin literature, and a special knowledge of a chosen author or authors in each language. When Greek is taken as the major subject, special stress will be laid on range and accuracy of reading, and on the quality of the dissertation.
