New Half Courses.

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences has voted to adopt four new half courses in the second half year. Semitic 10 hf. will be given by Professor G. F. Moore. The course will treat of the elements of the Phoenician language and will give interpretations of selected inscriptions. It is primarily for graduates and will meet twice a week. German 7 hf., for graduates and undergraduates, will be given by Dr. Jessen on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at 11. The course will give an outline of the history of literary and aesthetic criticism in German literature during the eighteenth century.

Comparative Religion 2 hf. and Old Testament 9 hf. are offered by the Faculty of Divinity and may also be counted for degrees in Arts. The former under Professor G. F. Moore is intended for both undergraduates and graduates, and will meet Wednesdays and Fridays at 2.30. It will give a general introduction to the psychological and historical study of religion. Old Testament 9 hf. will also be given by Professor Moore. It is primarily for graduates and will meet Wednesdays and Fridays at 3.30. The course will give interpretations of selections from the Old Testament and later Jewish writings, illustrating the efficiency and operation of sacrifice.
