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.

wit xt Lfllllzllllin Bzpartment nf latin The study of Latin at Mount Holyoke is only two years younger than the institution itself. The catalogue for 1839-1840 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 recom- mended, and in 1845 is made a requirement. Two years later a good knowledge of Andrew's and Stoddard's Latin Grammar and Andrew's Latin Reader is required for admission, although some exceptions may be made. No such proviso was inserted for 1852, however, and the requirements of the following decades steadily increased in amount, so that the step was not a very long one when MISS the change was made to the regular college course in 1888- lg 889. Since that time, the number and scope of the college electives offered have een steadily increased. The present aim of the department is a study of the life and civilization of the ancient Romans through their language. HELEN M.
