The teaching course has grown as follows: one full instructor, 1887-1893, during the years 1893-1897-1900, two full instructors, 19oo-1903, M155 HINSDALE three, 1903 to the present time, four.

25 1 lemme ,- Y 44 -he W -I--1 Erpartnxvxnt nf 151-nlngg Geology has been taught at Mount Holyoke from the first, but to Miss Cowles and Miss Edwards belongs the credit for developing the department and making the collections what they are now. Miss Cowles taught fol over thirty-five years, during a part of which time occa- sional lectures were given by Professor Charles H of Dartmouth, and fteld work was conducted by Mrs Martha K. Genthe. The collection consists of minerals, rock specimens, fossil casts, invertebrate fossils, numerous reptile tracks from this vicinity and one of the rare fossils t 1 from the Triassic sandstones-the almost perfect skeleton ' of a small dinosaur.

T omor gh 44 l .. +4 iilrparhurnt nf Mrrvk 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. This might not be substituted for any part of the required curriculum, but its completion entitled a graduate to a supplementary certificate. Greek was re- quired for the classical course from 1889-1902, when the degree of Bachelor of Arts was given for all courses. There have been two instructors in the department since 1889. From 1889 to 1907 the Alumnae Association contributed to the support of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens a sum which is, at present, paid by the college, so that the latter is still represented on the board of manage- M155 WILLIAMS ment of that institution.
