EPUB

guages may be attended at the same time with the Classes for Latin, Greek, and Mathematics.

It is recommended that no person should enter who is under fifteen years of age; if any one should present himself under that age, he must be examined by the Professor, and declared to be fit for the Class which he proposes to enter, before he can be admitted.

An opinion having prevailed that instruction at the University is conveyed by Lectures only, it is proper to state, that in all the Classes there is a direct communication between the Professor and his pupil by examinations and exercises; and where languages are taught, the instruction is conveyed principally in the way of interrogation and written exercises, and only incidentally by continuous Lectures. The Junior Classes of the modern languages are adapted to mere beginners.

Hours are fixed for two Junior and two Senior Classes of some of the Foreign languages; but it is to be understood that the Professor will not open two Classes for the same kind of instruction unless there shall be a reasonable number of Students for each.

Where Junior and Senior Classes are opened in the same department of instruction, if Students who have entered for the Senior Class are found upon examination not to be sufficiently advanced for it, they will be required to join the Junior Class.

LATIN.--Professor Key.-Daily except Saturday.

Junior Class. From 10 to 124 Fee for each Class, £7 10s.
Senior Class. From 124 to 2.

The Junior Latin Class will commence with Cicero's Oration on the Manilian Law, and the Tenth Book of the Æneid of Virgil, and it is desirable that those who are not able to read the latter book with tolerable facility, should not enter the Class; for without such previous acquaintance with the language, they cannot receive benefit from the instruction of the Professor.

The Senior Latin Class will commence with the latter part of the Letters of Cicero, and the Epistles and Satires of Horace. A Lecture on some subject connected with Roman History, Geography or Antiquities, will be read to this Class once every week, at an hour not interfering with the other Lectures.

GREEK.-Professor Long.-Daily except Saturday.

Junior Class.-From 12 to 2.
Senior Class. From 10 to 12.

Fee for each Class, £7 10s.

The Junior Class will begin with the Fifth Book of the Anabasis of Xenophon, and the Prometheus of Eschylus. Instruction in the Geography of Ancient Greece, Asia Minor, and the islands, will accompany this part of the Course. Those who enter the Junior Class should be able to read the Anabasis of Xenophon with tolerable ease, for without such previous acquaintance with the language they can scarcely derive benefit from the instruction of the Professor; a careful perusal of the first two or three books of the Anabasis is recommended to them.

The Senior Class will commence with the First Book of Thucydides; and the Persæ of Eschylus; the latter will be compared with parts of the Seventh and Eighth Books of Herodotus.

In both Classes, and particularly in the Junior Class, the Professor will give preliminary instruction on the author to be read. This assistance will be given in such a manner, and to such an extent, as he may consider best adapted to the object of instructing the Class; and it will always be followed by strict examination.

The Professor intends to appropriate an extra hour in each week to delivering a Lecture or Discourse to the Senior Class, on some subject closely connected with their daily Greek studies.
