The Lla-roara-tia Department of Greek Greek was first offered at Mount Holyoke Seminary in 1871-1872, with Miss Martha Bradford as instructor. A regular four-years’ course, outlined in the catalogue of 1874- 1875, remained substantially unchanged for twenty-three years. 1 his might not be substituted for any part of the required cur- riculum, but its completion entitled a graduate to a supplemen- tary certificate. Greek was required for the classical course from 1889 until 1902, when the degree of Bachelor of Arts was given for all courses. There have been two instructors in the department since 1889. From the same year, the Alumnae Association of Mount Holyoke College has contributed to the support of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and for several years the college has been represented on the board of management of that institution. y MISS WILLIAMS Mary Gilmore Williams, Ph.D., Professor Mount Holyoke; Ph.D., University of Michigan; American School of Classical Studies, Rome; Member of the Archaeological Institute of America, of the American Philological As- sociation, of the New England Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools, and of the New England Classical Association; Instructor in Latin at Kirkwood Seminary, Missouri; In- structor in Latin at Lake Erie College; Elisha Jones Fellow in Classical Philology at Univer- sity of Michigan, 1895-1897; Fellow of Association of Collegiate Alumnae, 1897-1898. 189 Cedar Street, Corning, New York.

The Liam arat»a 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 1845 is made a re- quirement. 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 MISSSEARI.RS change was made to the regular college course in 1888-1889. Since that time the number and scope of the college electives offered has been steadily in- creased. Recently a considerable purchase has been made of slides, photographs and other illustrative material, and a movement is now on foot to provide for permanent increase of such equipment. Helen M.
