COLLEGE NOTES.
KIN TAKAHASHI, 'es(
+. A. PENLAND. '9s J Editors.
The study of the Greek Languag


is made ore of the prominent de-
partments OF Maryvilie College.
The department is rapidly growing
under the efficient management OF
Prof. Sherrill'SS who has been con-
nected with the college, as a teacher
since the year 1888.
He spent year in John Hopkins
as a postgraduate student and on his
return he was reelected professor OF
the Greek Language and is working
faithfully and cheerfully.
He takes care to bring into the
teaching the latest and best methodes.
1t is source OF qualification and OF
encouragement to see the interest in the
study Of the so;called dead language
steady increasing. Twenty-Five. STU
dents have enrolled this year in the
Beginning Greek class. The charge
is often brought against Greek that 1t
is not practical study, and hence the
claimis made that it can be well
omitted. The charge is to say the least
mistaken one when viewed from the
proper stand point. The study OF any
Of the so-called more practical, BRAN
ches cannot rightly claim to surpass
the study Of the Latin and Greek
languages for the true culture Of the
mind. In our judgment no study
trains the analytic and synthetic power
of the mind more than does the study
of Greek. Therefore, let us have the
Greek Language studied by larger
numbers Of our young people.
