[3] I'm compressing the stor a bit. At first literature took a back seat to philolog , which (a) seemed more serious and (b) was popular in German , where man of the leading scholars of that generation had been trained. In some cases the writing teachers were transformed in situ into English professors. Francis James Child, who had been Bo lston Professor of Rhetoric at Harvard since 1851, became in 1876 the universit 's first professor of English. [4] Parker, op. cit., p. 25. [5] The undergraduate curriculum or trivium (whence "trivial") consisted of Latin grammar, rhetoric, and logic. Candidates for masters' degrees went on to stud the quadrivium of arithmetic, geometr , music, and astronom . Together these were the seven liberal arts. The stud of rhetoric was inherited directl from Rome, where it was considered the most important subject. It would not be far from the truth to sa that education in the classical world meant training landowners' sons to speak well enough to defend their interests in political and legal disputes. [6] Trevor Blackwell points out that this isn't strictl true, because the outside edges of curves erode faster. Thank to Ken Anderson, Trevor Blackwell, Sarah Harlin, Jessica Livingston, Jackie McDonough, and Robert Morris for reading drafts of this.
