It savored, however, more of German than of English origin. John Gross, professor of German and Geography, evidently represents a European current in American college instruction. Side by side with historicogeographical studies at Columbia ran the old scholastic course in Greek and Roman antiquities, which had probably been taught from the beginning of the college, in connection with the classical department. Classical History has really been the life current of historical...
