...department of Modern Languages, contrary to the general impression, the work will be as comprehensive, the instruction as efficient, if not more so, than this year. French V. will pass under the supervision of Prof. Bocher, and an authority says it will be a different course than it has ever been before; no account will be made of the matter read; the examination will be, not on the substance of the books read, but extracts from different authors will be given to test the student's facility in reading French.
