Excerpt from The Principles of Composition

This book has been written to meet the requirement of the course in English Composition given to students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the first term of the Freshman year. The course covers sixteen weeks, and the class meets twice a week. The course consists of written work and recitations. For the first of these each student is expected to write every week, outside the class, a theme of from three to four hundred words in length. This theme is delivered to the instructor at the beginning of one of the exercises, is read by him, and at the next exercise is handed back, with his criticisms written upon it. In accordance with these criticisms the student revises his work, in the first part of the term by rewriting the whole theme in the classroom under the eye of the instructor, and later by making on the original copy the changes indicated. The oral work consists of recitations on the substance of the textbook, and the discussion of such errors as the students have shown themselves most prone to commit.
