To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It should not concern itself with 'the minutiae of scholarly criticism on the -works studied ; it should aim rather at knowledge and appreciation. For 'this reason I believe the student should be introduced to >a number of the greait works of antiquity, presented in some sort of logical order, rather than carried through a com- plete outline of Greek . And Latin literature 'and made expert at names of authors of whose works we have only f ragmedts. Such a course should concern itself with the e...pic, Homer and Virgil; with the drama, the great four of Greece, and Plautus and Terence of Rome; with non-diramjatic poetry, and here the Greek must necessarily be fragmentary, but the Romans are well represented by Horace, Ovid, Juvenal, and others; 'and with prose in its various fields, but 'especially in those of philosophy and oratory. A course built upon such a plan as this ought upon 'completion to have given the student something of what we vaguely term ''liter- ary background. ' ' This literary background, however, will have been only half constructed if the instructor fails to connect the ancient writers with those of our town tonlgue.
