Synopsis
Excerpt from Brief Greek Syntax
Many experienced college teachers of Greek will agree in the opinion that the changes in preparatory school methods during the last decade or two have resulted in giving us freshmen whose knowledge of Greek syntax is vague and general rather than clear and precise. This may be traced to various causes. Grammar drill has been in part displaced by wider reading to meet the sight-reading tests in the college entrance examinations. The natural method has not been without its baleful influence. No doubt many minor causes have been at work; but, whatever the causes, the fact is beyond question. The average freshman of to-day has a vague and general knowledge of Greek syntax, instead of the clear and precise grasp of fundamental prin ciples which he needs.
Now if the college course in Greek is to consist largely of the study of the masterpieces of Greek literature as literature, such clear and precise knowledge must, at some time, be acquired, or else real appreciation is out of the question. It is idle for even the bright student to read the great Apology and hope to appreciate it as literature, unless he knows something definite of the normal use of moods and tenses. Else he may admire with enthusiasm what he takes to be the force and beauty of the Greek language, or the precision and flexibility of the author's style, but quite as likely as not he is applauding in the wrong place.
