fi T LFIHFIHFID Eepartment uf QEhu:atiun The Department of Education was organized in 1899- 1900 with courses in the History of Education, Philosophy of Education, Educational Psychology and Child Study, School Systems, School Management and Methodology. Most of the courses offered by this department are in- tended for all college students whether they purpose to become teachers or not. The courses in the theory and practice of teaching, and in the study of contemporary educational problems, are intended to give some degree of technical preparation for teaching.

Bepartmcnt nf English I. english The first catalogue gives among entrance require- ments, an acquaintance with the general principles of English Grammar, and for the three years of the Semi- nary course, English Grammar, Newman's Rhetoric and Whateley's. The catalogue of 1840-1841 has this note: Hlt is very desirable that the members of this class QSeniorj should be so well prepared for admission that they may devote more time to composition and receive more in- struction on the subject than the members of the lower classes. English has always been an entrance require- ment. 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. MISS STEVENS From 1896-1901 prescribed work was conhned to the first two years. In 1901-1902 the Junior requirement was restored, but with an option of courses. In 1896-1897 three teachers and one assistant gave the two required and four elective courses. The first elective was offered in 1887-1888. The current year, eighteen courses are offered by a teaching force consisting of a professor, an associate professor, four instructors, and a reader.

f- V irlflflfirln Department uf Qfinglisb literature During the first twenty years of Mount Holyoke Sem- inary, Milton's Paradise Lost seems to have been the chief book studied in English Literature, although great attention was also paid to Pope's Essay on M an and Young's Night Thoughts. Milton's Paradise Lost was not only the last to disappear from the list of studies, but it was required every year except in 1847-1848, when it was . starred with Butlcr's Analogy as not strictly required of those who have a good knowledge of Latin. In 1858 a course in the history of literature was introduced and required of Seniors. This general course, which came to include oriental, classical, and medieval literature, remained MISS HARPER a part of every student's work until the end of the Seminary itself. Meanwhile, in 1864, the History of English Litera- ture was required for the third year. This course was soon given into the hands of Miss Bowers who, for twenty-five years, conducted this department. She very early worked out the laboratory method of study, most desirable in those days when cheap editions of authors from Chaucer to Wordsworth did not exist. With the odering of electives in 1887-1888 and a well dCH1'1Cd four-year course, beginning with Old and Middle English in 1890-1891, the history of the Seminary ends and that of the college begins.
