The catalogue of 1876-1877 stated that lfrench and German might not be substituted for any required study, but that a certificate would be given for the completion ofthe four years' course in either modern language. In 1887 the department began its separate existence, and German was re- quired of all students for two terms. With the establishment of the college course in 1888 it was required for entrance, and was prescribed for the scientific and literary courses until their abolishment in 1902. The teaching force has grown as follows: one full instructor, 1887-1893, during the years 1893-1897 an added instructor, shared with the French department, 1897- Mlss HINSDALE 1900, two full instructors, 1900-1903, three, 1903 to the present time, four. The number of courses oH'ered has increased from the Erst small beginnings to eight courses, 1888-1893, eleven, 1893-1897, ten, 1897-IQOOQ twenty-one, 1900-1908.

, 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.

Department of English Literature For the first twenty years of Mount Holyoke Seminary Milton's Paradise Lost seems to have formed the literary pabulum of the students. Great attention was also paid to the study of Pope's Essay on Man, and Young's Night Thoughts. Though the last two disappear from the list of studies in the catalogue, Milton suffered but one partial interregnum in 1847-1848, when Paradise Lost, with l3utler's Analogy, was starred as not strictly required of those who have a good knowledge of Latin. In 1858-1859 a course in the historyof literature was introduced and required of Seniors. This general history fdeveloping later in ancient literature, oriental, classical, and medizevalf, remained a part of every student's course till the end ofthe Seminary itself. The history of English Literature was required for the third year ofthe course in 1864-1865, and was soon given into the hands of Miss Bowers, who for twenty-live years conducted this department. She very early worked out the laboratory method of study, most desirable in those days when cheap editions of authors from Chaucer to Wordsworth did not exist. With the offering of electives in 1887-1888 and a well-defined four years'course, beginning with Old and Middle English, in 1890-1891, the history of the Seminary ends and that ofthe college begins.
