, Yi A' PF, LEAN!! Department of History In the early days of the Seminary a brief outline of general history and a course in ecclesiastical history appear among the ornamental branches required of all students. United States History was from the first required for admission, and a com- mendable stress was laid on ancient and modern geography. Between 1860 and 1870 a distinct advance was made by the introduction of a constitutional text-book , and coincident with the coming of Miss Prentiss in 1866 the abolition ofthe older text-book system andthe extension of the general outline course to two years, mark a method of historical study much more liberal than was at all common in those days. The philos- ophy of history was emphasized and the student was led to reflect. just as Miss Prentiss laid down the general lines for the two full years in mediaeval and modern history included in the present course, so Miss Soule, coming in 1896, gave the first stimulus to the study of constitutional and economic history. It is the aim of the present department to continue the tradition established by Miss Prentiss and Miss Soule, adding those more specialized and advanced courses which the growth of the college has made possible.

MM c JJ - 5 Ape:-.J Department of English The Hrst catalogue gives among entrance requirements, An acquaintance with the general principles of' English Gram- mar, Newman's Rhetoric and Whateley's. The catalogue of' 1840-184.1 has this note: It is very desirable that the member- ship of this class QSeniorj should be so well prepared for admis- sion that they may devote more time to composition and receive more instruction on the subject than the members of' the lower classes. English has always been an entrance requirement. Until 1896-1897 it was also required through the four years, except that for students in the scientific course, from 1893-1896, it was omitted from the Junior year. From 1896-1901 pre- scribed work was confined to the first two years. In 1901-1902 the Junior requirement was restored, but with anioption of M155 STEVENS courses. In 1896-1897 three teachers and one assistant gave the two required and four elective courses. The first elective was ofliered in 1887-1888. The current year, nineteen courses are offered by a teaching force consisting ofa professor, two associate professors, three instructors and a reader. I.

If Y A-A sY.v. J 'Q Q 12 .LLANLQRAD S MISS RANDOLPH MISS JEWETT Department of Art and Archaeology Lectures in history of 2ll't were given at the Seminary as early as 1874, and in 1878 History of Art became a regular part of the course of study. From almost the opening year instruc- tion in drawing has held a recognized place. With the growth of the department an appeal for an art building was made in 1896. In IQO2 the Dwight Memorial Art Building, erected at a cost of ll575,000, was opened to classes. The building includes lecture rooms, department library, studios, galleries of sculpture and painting and a room devoted to the Clara Leigh Dwight Collection of Elbridge Kingsley's engravings. The library now includes nearly 2,500 volumes. Collections of photographs, prints and lantern slides have been carefully selected, and over 9,000 photographs are now used by the department. Through the gifts of alumna: and friends the collection of casts has come to include representative examples in pre-Greek, Greek, Roman and Renaissance Sculpture, with some architectural models and casts. There is also a good beginning in original materials, Greek and Roman coins, ancient vases and vase fragments. The stall' of instruction now numbers six and offers sixteen courses in Zll't and archaeology. Studio work is done in connec- tion with nearly every course. Dwight Hall has proved admira- bly adapted to its purpose of art study and exhibition. Books and 'illustrative material are brought side by side and the advan- tage is increasingly afforded of using CZISIS and photographs with journals, reference books and all standard authorities ready at hand.
