fact that all passengers were acC0mmOda ted in

Albany every other day. A few months after the
war daily line was established and hailed a

NEW METHODS IN MODERN LANGUAGES

At the opening of the present collegiate year at
Columbia College a decided change was made in
respect 10 the study of the modern languages. In
in most colleges a system of graded study has been
adopted, running through SIX years. The main idea
of the scheme is TO acquaint the student with the
literature of language by making HIM master of
it and directing his studies by means of lectures
and courses of reading Under this plan there is no
regard to class divisions. so that modern languages
are practically made an independent department in
the curriculum of the college. Ii is proposed that
every language of the two most important families
Germanic and Romance--shall be studied systcm-
atically in organic connection. The first year Of
the course will be devoted TO electives
in French, German, Italian. Spanish
and Danish, and lectures on Danish
literature: the second year to authors these Ian
guages and lectures on Swedish literature; the third
year mainly to lectures on literature, biblioga by
and philosophy for French, German, Italian and
Spanish classes the fourth year to old French.
Provencal, Dutch, old German and Gothic, Italian
dialects Portuguese and Catalan, lcelandic, and
lectures Oh literature. The postgraduate course of
two years will embrace lectures the comparative
philology and literature of the Romance and Ger
manic languages.
This scheme of study was proposed by Charles
Sprague Smith, the head professor OF modern
languages, and was adopted by the trustees last
May Professor Smith said recently that the ac-
curing a language was to be made subordinate to
the study of the literature of that language, and
that it was designed TO lead the student into the
highest deDartIneutS of linguistic study Professor
Boyesen formerly of Cornell University, has charge
OF the German classes, and III course OF time II is
proposed 10 have the classes In each language III the
hands of equally able men, In beginning the pres
ent term the first year of the course was considered
accomplished, so that the second year began with
eighty-sH pupils i'll French. hity-ive ia German.
