‘The Final Classical School or the School of Literae Humaniores is the oldest, and is admitted on all hands to be the premier School in dignity and importance.... The course of combined studies for this School is peculiar to ... Oxford. It is believed to confer a fine mental discipline and to favour a catholic and genuine culture.’ The general programme of studies includes the classical languages and literature, Greek and Roman History, and Philosophy. While textual criticism receives due attention, it is literary study and treatment that is emphasized. The study of the classical historians, in the original, forms the basis of the work in history. In Philosophy, which includes Moral and Political Philosophy and Logic, the work is based on Plato and Aristotle, but includes also the general history of Philosophy. The ‘Greats’ man is generally familiar with the works of Maine, Mill, Green, Bryce, and other authorities. He is also expected to be acquainted with the outlines of the Theory of Knowledge from Descartes to Kant, more especially with the philosophy of Locke, Berkeley, Hume and Kant, and the study of Psychology receives some attention. The essay work for and with the College Tutor is especially valuable and a most important part of the classical training received. The subjects of study range far beyond the limits of classical antiquity. ‘The dominant note of the examination is ... general culture upon a firm classical basis.’ Quite a number of University prizes and scholarships are offered in Classics.
