The Greek language is unique, distinguished for precision, clearness, completeness, and flexibility, and has no equal as an instrument of human speech. It has a direct bearing of Greek thought on modern life. Greek is the original language of the New Testament. Modern science has constructed its most refined and complicated terminology chiefly from the Greek. The Greek language ought to be profoundly studied for the native excellence of the Greek classics, for the invigorating discipline it affords, for the practical knowledge and mastery of our own native language, and as a preparation for the study of theology.

I .. 1S96 : Licensed, 1S96; Graduate Student in Latin, University of Pennsylvania, 1S97-1901 : Crsiuus College, 1893. Latin is taught not merely for its disciplinary and syntactical value which it gives the student, but to lead him into the higher realms of ait. literature, science, and philosophy, and to show how these arts and sciences affect modern life and civi'i .ation. The course is arranged to give the student a comprehensive and intelligent grasp of the whole field of Latin literature by studying carefully the representative writers of each period, and by noting the influence of these writers upon their own and succeeding ages.
