C. serve to illustrate the classical emphasis of the institution. The courses out- lined for the Freshman Class call for the suc- cessful completion of four years of Latin in a High School or similar institution. Students who fail to enter with such preparation may be accepted on condition, but cannot grad- uate without successfully completing the four years of College Latin which are required for the Arts degree. The aim of the courses is to develop facility in the reading of the classical authors, as well as to present a wide variety of the style and thought in the field of Latin Literature. For this reason the works read include not only classical selections, but pre-classical, as well as post-classical writings. Selections from lyric, epic, and dramatic poetryg phi- losophy, history, satire, oratory, and letters are to be found in the courses. The human- istic interest is always emphasized, but never at the expense of a study of the tech- nique of Latin style and thought, in which study there is to be found so much of dis- ciplinary value. Education Education Courses have, in recent years, been considerably developed, as the teaching profession has become increasingly attractive to college men. The great fundamental principles of educational methods are studied, in the subjects offered, successively from the psycological, the philosophical, the practical viewpoints as well as examined by the his- torical approach. Observation of teaching and practice teaching in the schools of Bethlehem and adjacent communities supply additional material for classroom presenta- tion and discussion. Complementing the various content courses of literature, lan- guage, history, mathematics, and science, the studies in educational method prepare the students for executive or instructural positions of different types in the field of education. Successive graduating classes are yielding each its quota of men to the teaching profession. In consequence, a creditable and thoroughly representative number of loyal sons of Moravian College are serving their day and generation as teachers.

The results of the method are twofold. It prepares the student for those courses, tech- I nical and professional, which require a more I intensive and specific chemical knowledge. In addition, he receives a course of training lvl in inductive reasoning so that he may employ y 1 this method with a sense of assurance and a 4 N. V' degree of safety. He thus acquires, with the ' '7 courses of instruction received in other departments, an education which should serve him well in the cultural sense and therefore in the utilitarian. ,fQ..f -:fi 45. 'TCLU 4' 4 J: K X4 fit V! i x Modern Languages The courses in the Department of Modern I Languages are arranged with the aim of acquainting the student with the fundamental facts of grammar, pronunciation, and struc- ture of modern languages. Although one cannot hope to make fluent conversation in We the foreign .languages the practical aim of l f 54 the course, it should be possible, after three A f years of study, for the student to be able to Y N follow a lecture or conversation in a foreign tongue without much difficulty. The arrangement of the courses in French, German, and Spanish is such that a student may begin any one language in his first year and, by careful and conscientious work, really obtain a working knowledge which will easily carry him along, no matter where he finds himself. , --- 5 : :iw , H . . iv l 'N , H4 r l'lOYVARD HOFFMAN, '13, B.
