.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.

fr T rrlllflfilin Bepartment uf ilaistnrp In the early days of the Seminary a brief outline of General History and a course in Ecclesiastical History appear among the 'fornamental branchesl' required of all students. United States History was from the first re- quired for admission, and a commendable stress was laid on Ancient and Modern Geography. Between 1860 and 1870 a distinct advance was made by the introduction of a Hconstitutional text-book , and coincident with the coming of Miss Prentiss in 1866, the abolition of the older text-book system and the extension of the general out- line course to two years, mark a method of historical study much more liberal than was at all common in those days. MISS NEILSON The philosophy of history was emphasized and the stu- dent 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 great 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 Soule, adding those more specialized and advanced courses which the growth of the college has made possible.
