What was, however, especially gratifying, was the improved quality of scholarship manifested by students.
For this summer we offer the following course:
1. Roman Law (using the Institutes of Justinian) with information. Not only every lawyer, but every teacher of Latin to-day should familiarize “thon”self with Roman law, lying, as it does, at the base of Roman civilization.
2. The Latin of the early Church Fathers.—Recent publication and discussion have brought into such prominence the influence of the early Latin Fathers on church doctrine that every clergyman, present or prospective, will do well to examine this question for himself.
3. Comparative Philology (using Halsey’s Etymology; Ginn, Heath & Co.)—(Every student preparing to enter either of these three classes should at once communicate with the principal, that there may be no delay at the opening of the session, in securing apparatus.)
4. Plato.—Apology and Crito, Tyler’s Ed. (Appletons.)
5. Cicero.—De Natura Deorum, Stickney’s Ed. (Ginn, Heath & Co.)
6. Homer.—Odyssey.
7. Vergil.—Æneid.
8. Horace.—Chase’s Ed. (Eldridge & Bro.)
