TH E LLAMARADA Bvpartnxrnt nf LBrrek Greek was first offered at Mount Holyoke Seminary in l87l-l872, with Miss Martha Bradford as instructor. A regular four years' course outlined in the catalogue of i874- IS75, remained substantially unchanged for twenty three years. This might not be substituted for any part of the re- quired curriculum, but its completion entitled a graduate to a supplementary certificate. Greek was required for the classical course from I889 until l902, when the degree of Bachelor of Arts was given for all courses. There have been two instructors in the department since ISS9. From i889 to i907 the Alumnae Association contributed to the support of X- . the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, a sum I - which is, at present, paid by the College, so that the College Miss WILLIAMS is still represented on the board of management of that insti- tutlon.

TH E. LLLAMARADA Beparimmt nf Zfmtin The study of Latin at Mount Holyoke is only two years younger than the institution itself. The catalogue for l839- l840 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 IS45 is made a requirement. Two years later a good knowledge of Andrews' and Stoddard's Latin Grammar and Andrews' Latin Reader is required for admission, although some exceptions may be made. No such proviso was inserted for l852, however, and the requirements of the following decades steadily increased in amount, so that the step was not a very long one when the change was made to the regular college course in ISSS-ISS9. Since that time the number and scope of the College electives MISS SEARLES offered have been steadily increased. Helen M.
