-YA Wx, .v. riff - ' ILL Department of Latin The study of Latin at Mount Holyoke is only two years younger than the institution itself. The catalogue for 1839-1840 states that some devote a part of their time to Latin, and that an extension of the course to four years is anticipated in order to give a regular time to Latin. The next year the course is earnestly recommended, and in 184.5 is made a requirement. Two years later a good knowledge of Andrews' and Stoddard's Latin Grammar and Andrew's Latin Reader is required for admission, although some exceptions may be made. No such proviso was inserted for 1852, however, and the requirements of the following decades steadily increased in amount, so that the step was not a very long one when the change was made to the regular college course in I888-I889. Since that time the number and scope ofthe college electives offered have been steadily increased. -i MISS SEARLES HELEN M. Slmituzs, Ph.D., Professor i M. A., Lake Forest College, Pb.

' Y Af' ' :bi N. I b X 'I , I N-f Q Department of Greek Greek was first oH cred at Mount l'lolyoke Seminary in 1871- l872, with Miss Martha liraclford as instructor. A regular four years' course, outlined in the catalogue of' 1874-1875, remained substantially unchanged for twenty-three years. This might not be substituted for any part ofthe required curriculum, but its completion entitled a graduate to a supplementary certilicate. Greek was required forthe classical course from 1889 until 1902, when the degree of liachclor of Arts was given for all courses. There have heen two instructors in the department since 1889. From 1889 to 1907 the Alumnae Association contributed to the support of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, a sum which is, at present, paid by the College, so that the Col- . lege is still represented on the hoard of management of that MISS WILLIAMS institution.

, Yi A E,5.LAM.e.RA . , J .Department of Romance Languages In the early days of Mount Holyoke Seminary one instructor took charge of all the work in modern languages, but in 1887- 1888 the departments of French and German were separated. Four courses in French were then offered, representing as many years' work. In 1891-1892 six courses were given, and in 1897- 1898 an additional instructor was found necessary. Italian and Spanish courses began to figure in the catalogue in 1894.-1895, but were not given regularly until 1901, when Miss Mary Vance Young was called to the chair of Romance Languages. At the present time the Italian courses alternate with the Spanish. During the last seven years the total number of courses offered has increased from seventeen to twenty-three, with a propor- tionate increase in the number of students electing them. The MISS YOUNG department aims to give, beyond and above the practical use of the tongue, a knowledge of the thought-life expressed in their literature. MARY VANCE YouNG, Pl1.D., Profexror' . Ph.
