COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Two parallel and equivalent courses of study are pur- sued in the College, each occupying four years.
I. The Classical Course, in which the Latin and Greek languages and literatures are combined with mathematical, scientific, and philosophical studies in that proportion which the experience of the best colleges has sanctioned. This course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
2. The Philosophical Course, in which German and certain scientific and English studies are substituted for the Greek. This course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy.
It is expected that those who enter this course will be fully equal in general culture to those in the Classical Course.
Students whose circumstances make a shorter course of study desirable are admitted to the privileges of the col- lege and allowed to select such studies from the two pre- scribed courses as, in the judgment of the Faculty, they are prepared to pursue with profit. Such special students must show by examination or otherwise their fitness for the course proposed, and are subject to the same regula- tions and discipline and to the same examinations in the studies pursued, as the students in the regular courses.

MARIETTA COLLEGE
Candidates for advanced standing are examined in the requirements for admission to College, and also in the studies which have been pursued by the class which they wish to enter. For the particular books in Greek, Latin, or German, studied by each class, equivalent amounts may be offered.
No one can be admitted to the Freshman Class until he has completed his fourteenth year, or to an advanced standing without a corresponding increase of age.
Testimonials of good moral character are in all cases required, and those who come from other colleges must produce certificates of dismission in good standing.
The regular examination for admission to College is held on Tuesday before Commencement (June 26, 1888). Candidates are urged to present themselves at this exam- ination if it is possible. A second examination is held at the opening of the Fall Term.

DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION
LATIN-PROFESSOR CHAMBERLIN
The course in Latin includes the study of several of the best Latin writers, Prose composition, Roman history, lit- erature, and antiquities. In the Freshman year the time is divided about equally between Livy and Horace. In connection with the study of Livy special attention is given to etymology and syntax, that the student may fix more firmly his knowledge of the grammatical principles of the language already acquired in his preparatory course. The work in prose composition is also intended to pro- mote this end, as well as to familiarize the student with the Latin order of thought. Roman history is reviewed with special reference to the period of the kings and that of the Punic wars. The principal events of the inter- vening period are assigned to the members of the class as subjects for individual investigation and presentation in the form of essays.
Grammatical drill is not neglected while reading Horace, but the study of word-formation and synonyms is made more prominent. Frequent written translations are re- quired so that the student may have a better opportunity than in the class-room, to reproduce the thought and sen- timent of Horace in the best English at his command.
Roman life, social and political in the days of Augustus, and Roman literature are subjects of collateral study during the last half of the year. Selections from Nepos and Catullus are used for translating at sight.
Plautus and Pliny or Juvenal are read in the winter
19
MARIETTA COLLEGE
term of the Sophomore year. In translating Plautus the student is urged to use as pure, idiomatic, conversational English as possible. Two plays are read: one, usually the Trinummus, at sight. The study of Plautus leads to the consideration of early Latin peculiarities of form and construction, the social life of the period, the develop- ment of the Roman drama, and its relation to modern dramatic literature.
Latin is an elective study in the first and third terms of the Junior year. Although the work will vary from year to year, that given in the foregoing course of study will indicate its general character. Students wishing to broaden their knowledge of Roman literature, will read rapidly from a number of authors selected from its different pe- riods. Cicero and Lucretius will be read with special reference to ancient philosophy as embodied in their writings.
Students in this department should provide themselves with Harper's or White's Junior Student's Latin-English Lexicon, Smith's Classical Dictionary, Anthon's or Rich's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, and Ginn and Company's Classical Atlas.
GREEK-PROFESSOR PHILLIPS
The required Greek of the classical course extends through the Freshman year and the first and third terms of the Sophomore year; in the Junior year the study is optional.
In the prescribed work the course is arranged with a view to acquiring first a facility in reading the easier au- thors at sight; and secondly an acquaintance with the im-
.
20
DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION
portant events of political and constitutional history, the most interesting facts of Greek private life, and an outline of the history of literature. In the elective course attention is directed to the dramatic and the philosophical literature and to the elements of archaeology.
The authors read in the Freshman year are: Lysias, four orations,-Eratosthenes, Olive Trunk, Grain Dealers, Funeral Oration; Herodotus, story of the Persian Inva- sion-Selections from VI, VII, VIII, and IX ; Thucydides, Book I. The characteristics of the different authors are pointed out; and a careful study of text, of syntax and word-formation, is combined with large practice in trans- lation at sight. In order to a more thorough knowledge of the structure and idioms of the language, lessons in composition are given weekly throughout the year, and consist of written and oral translations from Sidgwick's Greek Prose Composition, Parts I and II. In connection with the authors a study is made of the outlines of history to the death of Alexander. Chapters from Grote's History of Greece and other authorities are specified for illustra- tive reading.
The first term of the Sophomore year is devoted mainly to Homer. Several consecutive books from the Odyssey or Iliad (for 1888 Od. V-XII) are read, and selections from other portions to show the structure of the poems. The Homeric Question with mythology, etc., and Homeric forms and syntax are commented on, and lectures given on the elements of philology and on the private and social life of the Greeks. In the third term Plato's Apology and Crito or Lyric Poets are read, with lessons on the history of literature.
The Junior elective course for 1888-89 will comprise,
21
MARIETTA COLLEGE
for the first term, Plato's Phædo with an outline of the history of Greek Philosophy; for the second term, the Bacchae of Euripides, the Electra of Sophocles, the Frogs of Aristophanes, and lectures once a week on the history of Greek sculpture.
GERMAN-PROFESSORS CHAMBERLIN AND PHILLIPS
PHILOSOPHICAL COURSE
Students who wish to pursue the Philosophical Course should have a thorough knowledge of German grammar, and be able to translate easy German at sight, and to turn simple English into German with ease and accuracy. They will be required to continue the study through the Freshman year. The work of the year will consist of the reading of selections from Lesssing, Goethe, Schiller, and other authors, study of the composition and deriva- tion of words, and the history of the German language and literature, with its relation to English.
Recitations will be conducted in German, and the regu- lar work will be supplemented by conversational exercises and sight reading. Whitney's Grammar is used for reference.
This year the class will read Goethe's Goetz von Ber- lichingen, Hermann und Dorothea, Egmont, Faust, Part I or Lessing's Nathan der Weise, Storm's Immensee, Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm, Schiller's Historische Skizzen (Buchheim's Ed.), Andersen's Improvisatore.
CLASSICAL COURSE
German is pursued as a required study in the second
22
DEPARTMENTS OF STUDY
and third terms of the Sophomore year. At this stage it is expected that students will be able to acquire rapidly the principles of the language and readiness in translation. After a few preliminary lessons, easy prose is taken up along with the grammar (Whitney's); etymology and word-formation are made prominent as a means of build- ing up vocabulary; and, later, considerable time is given to rapid reading. The selections consist of easy stories from Grimm and Andersen, followed progressively by more difficult prose. The required course does not con- template the study of German classic authors, but is de- signed to enable students to read ordinary German and to lay a foundation for the further study of the language and literature, for which opportunity is offered in the elective work of the Junior year.
FRENCH-PROFESSOR CHAMBERLIN
French is an elective study for the second and third terms of the Junior year. Instruction in this department is intended to aid the student in securing a reading knowl- edge of the language. Only so much of the grammar is taught as will facilitate fluency of translation. It is im- possible to give a definite statement of the selections for reading, but they will be such as to give the student some conception of the beauty and variety of French literature. The following course is given as representative : Lacombe's Petite Histoire du Peuple Francais, About's La Mere de la Marquise, Dosia by Henry Greville, Moliere's L'Avare, Racine's Athalie, and Hugo's Hernani. Chardenal's First French Course is used as a text-book, and Whitney's Practical French Grammar and Harrison's French Syn-
