Extract

At its last annual session, this Association listened to two papers, one on “The Place of English in the College Curriculum,” by Professor Hunt, of Princeton College, and the other on “The Requirements in English for admission to College,” by Professor McElroy, of the University of Pennsylvania, and at its preceding session to one on “The College Course in English Literature, how it may be Improved,” by Professor Hart, of the University of Cincinnati,—the subjects of all of which, taken together, are cognate with that of the present paper. I do not design, however, to go over the same ground as that so well treated in those papers.
