PRINCIPLES AND METHODS.-Greek is pronounced according to the accents, and with the so-called Continental sound of the vowels and diphthongs; a knowledge of grammar and of words proceed together In translation, the radical meaning of words is to be learned, but the precise signification in the passage rendered is to le given; the thing to be done in translating an author is to give his exact meaning in the best idiomatic, grammatical English; facts, allusions, tropes, history, chronology, mythology, topography, customs, arts, laws, grammatical forms and elements, etymologies, composition of words, are to be attended to: translation of English into Greek is based upon the author read. So far as the author himself is concerned, among the things to be noted are, the chief facts of the author's life; the contemporary history and political condition of the country, and the author's relation to them, and the character of the people; and the expression and logical scope of his thought, and the wisdom, &c., of his views.

XIV. MENTAL AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY,

PROFESSOR CAMPBELL.

Instruction in this department extends through four terms, beginning with Psychology the third term of the Junior year. The exercises occur five times each week, one-half of the hour being occupied with a text book recitation, and the other with a lecture on the topic in hand. The subject is investigated empirically, and is introduced by the lectures on theoretical Philology, the preceding term, and followed by the study of Philosophy proper. This subject, [Ontology] is taken up in a course of lectures, occurring five times a week, the first term of the Senior year. It is pursued historically, and particular attention is directed to the Philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, Kant and Hegel, requiring translation of extracts from the Greek or German, as the case may be. The history closes with a discussion of the present condition of Philosophy in the leading Universities of the world. The development of Philosophy proper is followed by lectures on Ethics and the Evidences of Revealed Religion, occurring five times per week, during the second term of the Senior year. The

under-graduate instruction in this subject closes the third term (Senior) with a course of twelve lectures on Natural Theology. This course of lectures is optional in all cases.
