PROFESSORSHIPS.
GREEK.

This Professorship (as a Professorship of " Philosophy") is coeval with the foundation of the Colleges, but Greek was not taught as a separate subject till the beginning of the eighteenth century. The Professor is appointed by the University Court.

There are three Greek Classes, which are taught by the Professor at separate hours.

The First or Junior Greek Class is generally attended by Students of the first year. They begin with the Greek Gramınar and Xenophon, and proceed afterwards to Homer and Euripides, with lessons on History, Geography, Syntax, and the Irregular Verbs, and exercises in prose composition.

The Summer studies between the first and second year consist

chiefly of Homer, Herodotus, Euripides, revision of Grammar and Syntax, and exercises in translation and prose composition.

The Second Greek Class is generally attended by Students of the second year. Their work comprises some part of Homer, Herodotus, Eschylus, or Sophocles, with exercises in prose and verse composition.

The subjects for the Summer studies between the second and third year, in addition to the work for the Degree, are taken from Thucydides, the Greek Dramatists, and Plato or Demosthenes, with exercises in prose and verse composition.

In the Third Class, which is open to Students in either their third or fourth year, the subjects generally studied are Thucydides, Sophocles, Plato, and Pindar or Demosthenes; and lessons in Composition are given to each member of the class individually at separate times.

Examinations are held at intervals in each class on the subjects studied. All Students are recommended to procure Smith's History of Greece, and Kiepert's Ancient Atlas.

By an ordinance of the Universities Commissioners, Students of the first year may be admitted to the Second Greek* Class on passing an examination, the subjects of which will be found under "Graduation in Arts."

HUMANITY.

This Professorship was founded in 1620, by Sir John Scot of Scotstarvit. The Professor is appointed by the University Court. There are three Humanity Classes. The First Humanity is generally attended by Students in their first year; the Second Humanity by Students in their second year; and the Third, which is a voluntary class, is open to Students in either their third or fourth year.

In the First Humanity Class, which meets five days a-week at 12 o'clock, and also on Tuesdays at 10 o'clock, the subjects of study are- Virgil, Livy, Horace, and Cicero. During the first hour on Tuesdays, progressive exercises in Grammar are done in the class. The hour on Thursdays is devoted to Roman History and Antiquities.

Besides the necessary work of the class, voluntary work, consisting of additional portions of Virgil and Livy, is prescribed, and the Students are invited to offer themselves for examination on these subjects at stated periods.

The Second Humanity Class meets five days a-week at 9 o'clock A.M. The authors studied are Cicero, Horace, Tacitus, Terence,

* Also the Second Humanity and Mathematical Classes.

Persius, and Juvenal. Voluntary work, from these or other approved authors, is also prescribed in this class.

Subjects for Summer Study are proposed at the close of each Session to the members of both the First and Second Humanity Classes. These subjects consist of additional portions of the authors already named, with the further study of Roman Literature, Geography, and Antiquities. Examinations are held at the beginning of each ensuing Session.

The Third Humanity Class meets at 11 o'clock on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The subjects of study are-some of the more difficult writings of Cicero, Plautus, Lucretius, and Tacitus. Lectures on Philology are also delivered in this Class.

Wednesday is devoted in all the Humanity Classes to the practice of Latin Composition, with occasional lectures on Roman Literature, Antiquities, or History, by the Professor.

LOGIC AND METAPHYSICS.

This Professorship is coeval with the foundation of the Colleges. The Professor is appointed by the University Court.

The Class of Logic and Metaphysics is recommended to be taken in the second year of a three years' course, or in the third year of a four years' course. The Class meets daily from 1 to 2 P.M.

The subjects of lecture fall under three heads: (1) A survey of the facts of Consciousness (Empirical Psychology); (2) Logic Deductive and Inductive; (3) An Introduction to philosophical questions, with special reference to the history of Philosophy in England.

In the first part of the course no text-book is prescribed, but a manual such as Sully's Outlines of Psychology, Clark Murray's Handbook of Psychology, or Höffding's Psychology, may be usefully referred to. Jevons's Elementary Lessons in Logic will be used as an introduction to the subject in the second or Logical division of the course.

Advanced Class.

This Class has been formed for the fuller study of the leading questions of Philosophy and of the history of Philosophical Thought. It is intended for all who are interested in the subject, and who wish to prosecute it further than is possible in the ordinary class for the Degree. It will be found specially useful by those who read for Honours in Philosophy; and it is hoped that it may help to increase the number of those looking forward to this distinction.

The Class meets once a-week during the Session, at an hour to be fixed at the opening, with a view to meet the conveni
