Bepattment of Qbeulugp 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 for over thirty-five years, during a part of which time occasional lectures were given by Professor Charles Hitchcock of Dartmouth, and field work was conducted by Mrs. Martha K. Genthe. The collection consists of minerals, rock specimens, fossil casts, vertebrate and invertebrate fossils, numerous reptile tracks from this vicinity and one of the Q rare fossils from the Triassic sandstoncs-the almost per- XXX feet skeleton of a small dinosaur. x X xii- df Miss -rALno-r Louisa FRANCES Cowmss, M.A., Emeritus Professor Mount Holyoke, M.A., Smith, Worcester School of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University, Amherst Summer School of Languages, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Member of the Association of the Collegiate Alumnae.

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.

.ii T XX Lfllllzllilin Bepartment of german German was added to the Seminary course as an optional study in 1846. The catalogue of 1876-1877 stated that French and German might not be substituted for any required study, but that a certificate would be given for the completion of the four years' course in either mod- ern language. In 1887 the department began its separate existence, and German was required of all students for two terms. With the establishment of the college course in 1888, it was required for entrance, and was prescribed for the scientific and literary courses until their abolish- ment in IQO2. The teaching course has grown as follows: one full instructor, 1887-1893, during the years 1893- 1897-1900, two full instructors, 1900-1903, three, 1903 to the present time, four. The number of courses offered has increased from the first small beginnings to eight courses, 1888-189 3, eleven, 1893-I8Q7Q ten, 1897-1900, twenty-one, 1900-1908, twenty-three, 1914.
