It is constantly borne in mind that the power of preaching does not lie in human art but in the divine authority of the \Vord and the Spirit of God. Hence. while there must be intense study of the text and much practice in the art of presenting truth, the essential homiletic preparation consists in ridding minds of worldly notions as to preaching and self-confidence in order that Word and Spirit may have full sway. Further the course consists in the study of the pericopes ; analytical reading of representative sermons; written outlines of sermons and religious addresses, and weekly sermons in class. 2. CATECHETICS Catechetics as a branch of Practical Theology at- tempts to teach the proper methods of instructing the young in the Church, especially in the Christian religion. It looks upon the educational work intrusted to every congregation as fundamentally necessary and requiring careful training of teachers and patient and systematic execution. A good pastor should not only himself be able “to feed the lambs” but should also know how to, teach others the same art. The course involves, first, I survey of the history of Christian education; secondly. a description of the theories and methods of such educa- tion as they prevail in the Church to-day; thirdly, the practical application of principles and methods to our educational need, so that the material of instruction may be suited as much as possible to the growing heart and Show less

The great masterpieces of literature are studied with the purpose of familiarizing him with normal English idiom in the expression of noble and inspiring thought. Con- tinual attention is .paid to the particular needs of each student in the speaking and writing of good English. The courses are also organized so as to furnish suffi- cient and appropriate study for those who are qualified to specialize in English in preparation for teaching and for graduate work in English as major or minor. The foreign language requirements in this connection should be noted. The major and minor requirements, including the prerequisite courses, preparatory for graduate study are as follows: 1. Preparation for graduate study for the M. A. degree: a. English: courses 1-2-3 to 16, and 19- b. A reading knowledge of one, preferably two. for- eign languages, depending on graduate school chosen. 2. Preparation for graduate study for the PhD. degree. a. English: courses 1-2-3 to 16, and 19. b. A reading knowledge of two foreign languages, choice depending on graduate school concerned. The minor for graduate work requires 23 credits above the Freshman year, including courses 8-11. 1. For the B. A. degree. Requirements the same as in preparing for graduate study. Show less

The fundamental rules, fac- toring, divisors, multiples, simple and simultaneous equa- tions, fractions, theory of the exponent, radical expres- sions, quadratic equations, ratio, proportion, and progres- sion. Five periods a week. 1 unit. II PLANE GEOMETRY. The object in view is to develop in the student a habit of exact definition and the ability of logical and continuous argument. Problems are worked both synthetically and analytically. The course includes lines, rectangular figures, circles, loci, ratio, proportion, limits, problems in construction, similar po- lygons, and area of polygons. Text: Hart and Feldman's “Plane Geometry.” Five periods a week. 1 unit. III HIGHER ALGEBRA. A review of the four fundamen- tal operations for the rational algebraic expressions; fac- toring, determination of the highest common factor and the least common multiple by factoring, fractions, in- volution, evolution, radicals, and imaginary quantities, Equations of the first and second degree, ratio and pro- portion. progressions; binomial theorem for positive in- tegral exponents, and permutations and combinations limited to simple cases. Five periods a week. First half of school-year. V2 unit. IV 50le GEOMETRY. This course is a study of the various geometric solids-polyhedrons, cylinders, cones, and the sphere—together with original constructions, de- monstrations, and practical exercises.
