Q23 To make the student acquainted with as much of the best Latin literature as possible, both at first hand, by tl1e reading of typical Latin authors and by a study of the development of Latin litera- ture. To acquaint the student with Roman civilization and life, considered socially and historically, both by systematic lectures and by supplementary study of what Latin Writers themselves teach. Q45 To afford opportunity for advanced study of the Latin language and literature. Among authors read at various stages of the course are Ovid, Livy, Horace, Terence, Cicero, Pliny, Aullus Gellius, Plautus, Quintillian, J uvenal, Martial and Tacitus. ' The work in Latin epigraphy consists of. a course of systematic lec- tures introductory to the practical Work of reading and interpreting inscriptions. The Latin smmfoziarirmz. aims especially to train those who expect to teach in methods of criticism and original investigation. The department has a strong departmental library-the Simison Latin library --which now consists of over 700 volumes. Dr. Post, as a teacher and classical scholar, has an enviable reputa- tion. Several years of study and travel in Europe have served to impart to his Work a vigor and freshness rarely met with in Latin specialists.
