Degree with Distinction in Classics

At the last meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences the requirements for the Degree with Distinction in the Classics were changed. The new requirements are as follows: the candidate must take eight courses, of which ordinarily six should be courses in Greek or Latin literature or composition, while at least two may be appropriate courses in History, Philosophy, Fine Arts, on Modern Literature, although other substitutions will be permitted, and allowances made for outside work or reading.

In May of each year the Department will hold examinations on the basis of which it will make its recommendations. Candidates must offer themselves in four of the following subjects including the first two:

The translation of Greek authors at sight.

The translation of Latin authors at sight.

Greek and Latin Composition (of the grade of knowledge reached in Greek 7 and Latin 7).

Greek Literature, with alternative questions on History, Philosophy, and Antiquities.

Latin Literature, with the same alternatives.
