Show IN THE UNIVERSITY of Pennsylvania the entrance examination in English grammar, etymology and composition is made a thorough test of all candidates' knowledge, and nearly all the schools which supply the university are sending their pupils so well prepared that the number of conditioned and rejected steadily grows smaller. The practical and theoretical course in rhetoric lasts eighteen months, and is supplemented by theme-writing throughout. Voluntary classes in English Literature have been formed, and another class for criticism of English authors from the rhetorical point of view is proposed, it is hoped that these classes may soon be made elective, or worked into the required course. |
