Honor Courses The Honor course aims at developinf in the student (1) an intelligible and facile pronunciation of French;(2) a knowledge 0 grammar and syntax required for teaching the elements of the language: (3) a rapid and accurate ability in reading French of various styles; (4) sufficient familiarity with the content of Frenchhterature and the terminology of criticism and literary history for beginninlJ graduate work in Canadian or American universities. About one-third of the work IS devoted to grammar and composition. The COurses are conducted to a large extent in French. Notable deficiency in pro­ nounciation at the end of the first year will bar the student from coutinuing the honor course. 100 Modern French Literature.
