...plan of the new course in Comparative Philology is to study the subject as far as a knowledge of Latin and Greek will allow. The tutor will use Sanskrit when possible, but no knowledge of that tongue is expected of the student. The books indicated are not thoroughly decided upon.

The quantity of matter which we receive is not all that we could wish, and does not allow us all the liberty of choice that could be desired.
