...fails those examinations may take the corresponding examination in the fall of his Senior year. In May of Senior year each concentrator must take two exams of three hours each on the literatures of Greece and Rome; two or three hours each in the translation of Greek and Latin authors at sight; and one of three hours on the general field of Classical studies. Both because of this abundance and wide coverage of exams and because of the great possibilities of correlation with allied fields tutorial is especially important in the Classics. The tutors were described as extremely cooperative...
...cultured background includes a Professorship here in Fine Arts. This course also suffers from Einarson's definitely poor teaching. The Elementary Composition course, Greek 3, described as "tough but rewarding", assists the student both to a knowledge of the language and an appreciation of Greek style. Either this or Latin 3 is required for honors. Plate and Aristotle and a survey of Greek Philosophy from Thales to Aristotle are handled in Greek 8. In spite of the statement in the University's Course Register, little attention is paid to the subject matter of the authors read, and the recommendation...
...Latin, it is felt that an elementary course, such as Greek G, should be given. Latin A, which normally begins the curricular, surveys Latin literature fairly hastily, but is well considered depending on the men who give it. The death of "teachers" in the Classics makes an appearance here. Neither Murphy nor Little escape criticism here although respectable as tutors. A good introduction to Latin literature is provided in Latin B given by the very popular Professor Rand, but there are two sections provided for those who because of course conflicts are unable to attend Professor Rand's section...
...Latin Poetry; Tacitus, Pliny, Petronius, is the ambitious title of Latin 1, but perhaps too much material is covered, and it was recommended that Petrenius should be omitted and lectures substituted. Neither Professor Greenenor Mr. Peebles present the course as well as concentrators believed they might, although the organization is all right. Latin Composition seems to be fairly well taught in Latin 3. The first half of Latin 8, dealing with Cicero and Lucretius, will be given by Mr. Mynors of Balliol College, Oxford. The second half on Horace, Persius, and Juvenal, is taken by Professor Pease to whom...
Professor Pease and Professor Rand share the honors in Latin 12, a history of Latin literature which provides the same latitude of choice as Greek 12. Rand and the course are well liked. Those who took Comp. Lit. 2 under the seductive title Antiquity in the East and West, declared that they had been stung in expecting anything relevant to classical studies here. Professor Ferguson who teaches both Greek and Roman History is recognized as an ornament to the Department...
