What this means for students in German may be informed from the fact that this addition is nearly equal to the whole number of books hith rto on the shelves. Among the acquisiti us are: Herrig's Archiv, Complete Set, of eighty thré volume; one of the oldest and most valuable literary journals for modern language. Germania - Complete Set, of thirty five volumes; dealing with Germ n antiquities. Julien Schmidt. God+ka. Robert's end Gothschall. Mengel, Histories of German Literature or of special periods. The new Welman edition of Goethe's works, so far as issued: Dritsche Classiker des Mittelrats, i. bürdig. best editions of Wolfram v. Eschbach, Gothfried v. Strasburg, Hartmann v. Av., Walther v. d. Vorgel, Wael德, etc. — Deutsche Dichtungen des Mittelalters, Ulandt's Dichtung und Lage, 8 vols Freyhings Bilder aus der Dichtchen. Sehr Ahnen. Auerbach works, etc. The work of the department has been very heavy, as may be seen by a comparison of the following. FIRST LESSON. Eighty Preparatory Students in 2 classes, Forty-six Freshmen in ... 1 class, Six Sophomore composition in ... 1 class, Six advanced students in ... 1 class. 170 students in...6 classes. SECOND SESSION. 118 Proparatory in ... 2 classes. Thirty-Eight Freshmen in ... 1 class. Thirty Sophomores in ... 1 class. Seven advanced students in ... 1 class. One hundred & ninety three in 5 classes. In addition to the above there were given, for entrance and advanced standing, sixty-eight examinations out of class, making a total of four hundred and thirty-one examinations given by the depart ment. This is not the place to go over in detail the work done, but a few words will help to understand it. Eighty beginners studied Olsa's Grammar; forty five sub-freshmen finished Rosenengel's Reader, Hoffman's Historische Erzehlungen, Der Zerbrochene Kräfte, and Der Bordeschneider. Much of composition works. This is preparatory to the Freshman class. Thirty-five Freshmen completed Helmes Reelsebiler and Wm. Tell, receiving a number of lectures on the historical basis of legend, and the literature of the subject Thirty Sophomores completed Tasso, Iphigenite, part of Hart's Goethe's Prosa and Nathan the Dewel, with lectures on Goethe and Lessing. Six Sophomores translated Howell's Garroters into German. Six Juniors and Seniors read carefully Hauff' Lichtenstein, Schell-Waekehard, Prass' Gustav, Ekehard, bourge, Kenzkafahrer, with much reading and lectures on the novel, and the German Historical Novel in particular, completing their work with a 10,000 word thesis on this subject. For the coming year the work of Freshman and Sophomore classes will be varied somewhat, though still upon the closus of the 18th century. The work for aadvanced classes will be a full year's work in Middle High German, history, history of literature, grammar, and reading. The class will read the Nibelungenlied, Iwein, Walther von dor Vogelwale, and perhaps more. In addition to this there is offered a course in Gothic, and one in Luther's Prose. Advanced students who have not advanced any elect. Sophomore Genus as an optional. The department is still much hampere for lack of books, and prays in chorus with all the other literary departments of the university for more extended library facilities. The of the advances already decreed is an assistant who shall give his whole time to the work in German. A grace at the class figures show how much this is needed. Mr. Max Winkler, whose time was divided between French and German, and who brought to his work a fine earnestness and drama in enthusiasm, goes to Ana Arbor, whore he will have the good wishes of friends here.
