The method of instruction in Greek at Johns Hopkins University is thus commented on in a late number of the N. Y. Post: "The rooms are of a good size, well lighted and handsomely furnished. The cocoa matting of the average college class room is replaced by Brussels carpets; and cane-bottomed chairs are substituted for hard wooden seats. All the works in the university on philology are collected together in this one building. The student then has everything at his elbow. In the seminary library there are one thousand volumes, and in Professor Gildersleeve's study at least two thousand five hundred. There are not only the Greek and Latin authors in this collection, but nearly every production of every commentator upon certain classical authors. Professor Gildersleeve has been an omniverous reader ever since he was a boy of twelve. He showed me some of his note-books that he had written out while at Princeton. Whenever he finished reading a book he wrote in his note-book his opinions of the work, and made comparisons between it and other works. His favorite author is Lucan, and he has in his study a fine collection of Lucaniana. The advanced students of the seminary are this year confined to Aristophanes, and in connection with the comedies the men are studying thoroughly the Peloponnesian War. During the past year the centre of work has been Plato."
