PREFACE
While the annual volume of examination questions published by the College “Entrance Examination Board has met the needs of many candi- dates for examination and their teachers, the Board is constantly in receipt of communications asking for the questions set in certain subjects in succes- sive years. In order to meet this demand the Board has prepared pamphlets containing the questions in certain subjects from I9I1 to I9QI5 inclusive. These pamphlets are as follows: |
I. Examination questions in Latin and Greek, I191I-—I9QI5.
2. Examination questions in English and other modern languages, IQII-IQI5. ,
3. Examination questions in mathematics, I9I1I-I9QI5.
4. Examination questions in history, I91I-I915.
5. Examination questions in the natural sciences and in drawing, IQII-IQI5.
Besides meeting the needs of candidates for examination and their teachers, these publications ought to have more widely a beneficial influence upon teaching for the reason that they illustrate in concrete form principles agreed upon by many leading teachers of the subjects represented.

I see, fellow-citizens, that all of you understand how much praise Lucullus ought always to receive from the Roman people. Within a short time after he had set out from Rome for Asia, he not only prevented Mithridates from getting possession of Cyzicus, a city most friendly to us, but also, although the forces of the enemy were very large, so defeated the king that the latter was com- pelled to retreat with the greatest speed. _ In fact, Lucullus would have captured him if our soldiers had not been so eager for gold and silver. For Mithridates, fearing that he would not be able to escape from their hands, ordered his men to leave behind enough booty to delay the pursuers for a few days. He thus reached Armenia before anyone could overtake him. But he was not long without assistance. For Tigranes thought that he ought to help his father-in-law,' — because, since he was himself a king, he pitied the misfortunes of other kings.

Cum bellum civitas aut inlatum defendit aut infert, magistratus qui ei bello praesint, ut vitae necisque habeant potestatem deliguntur.

Pompeium in ultimas prope terras venerunt, eique se omnis Cretensium civitates dedere velle dixerunt? Quid? Idem iste Mithridates nonne ad eundem Cn.

Idem ipsum Lentulum, largitorem et prodigum, non putat, cum de pernicie populi Romani, exitio huius urbis tam acerbe, tam crudeliter cogitarit, etiam appellari posse popularem.

GALBA’S ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF MUTINA
Cum equites Antonii apparuissent, contineri neque legio Mar- tia neque cohortes praetoriae potuerunt; quas sequi coepimus coacti, quoniam retinere eas non potueramus. Antonius ad Forum Gallorum suas copias continebat neque sciri volebat se legiones habere; tantum equitatum et levem armaturam ostendebat. Pos- teaquam vidit se invito legionem ire Pansa, sequi se duas legiones iussit tironum.' Posteaquam angustias paludis et silvarum transi- imus, acies est instructa a nobis XII cohortium; nondum venerant legiones duae: repente Antonius in aciem suas copias de vico pro- duxit et sine mora concurrit. Primo ita pugnatum est, ut acrius non posset ex utraque parte pugnari; etsi dexterius cornu, in quo ego eram cum Martiae legionis cohortibus octo, impetu primo fuga- verat legionem XXXV Antonii, ut amplius passus quingentos ultra aciem, quo loco steterat, processerit.

Quantum nomen illius fuerit, quantae opes, quanta in omni genere bellorum gloria, quanti honores populi Romani, quanti senatus, quanti tui, quis ignorat?

THE DEPARTURE OF HANNIBAL FROM ITALY AND THE RECEPTION OF THE NEWS AT ROME
Raro quemquam alium patriam exsilii causa relinquentem tam maestum abisse ferunt quam Hannibalem hostium terra exceden- tem. Respexisse saepe Italiae litora, et deos hominesque accusan- tem in se quoque ac suum ipsius caput exsecratum,' quod non cruen- tum ab Cannensi victoria militem Romam duxisset: Scipionem ire ad Carthaginem ausum, qui consul hostem Poenum in Italia non vidisset; se centum milibus armatorum ad Trasumennum, ad Cannas caesis circa Casilinum Cumasque et Nolam consenuisse.? Haec accusans querensque ex diutina possessione Italiae est de- tractus.
Romam per eosdem dies et Magonem et Hannibalem profectos adlatum est. Cuius duplicis gratulationis minuit laetitiam, et quod parum$ duces in retinendis iis, cum id mandatum ab senatu esset, aut animi aut virium habuisse videbantur, et quod solliciti erant, omni belli mole in unum exercitum ducemque inclinata,4 quo evasura esset res. .
| Mentio deinde ab senioribus facta est segnius homines bona quam
| mala sentire; transitu in Italiam Hannibalis quantum terroris
pavorisque esse meminisse! Quas deinde clades, quos luctus incidisse! Visa castra hostium e muris urbis; quae vota singulorum universorumque fuisse. Quotiens in conciliis voces manus.ad caelum porgentiums auditas, cn umquam ille dies futurus esset, quo vacuam hostibus Italiam bona pace florentem visuri essent!—Livy, Xxx, 20 and 21.

Tue ATTITUDE OF CICERO TOWARD THE DOMINATION OF OCTAVIANUS IN ROME
Si per tuas legiones mihi licitum fuisset, quae nomini meo populoque Romano sunt inimicissimae, venire in senatum coramque de re publica disputare, fecissem, neque tam libenter quam necessario; nulla enim remedia quae vulneribus adhibentur tam faciunt dolorem quam quae sunt salutaria. Sed ‘“quoniam cohortibus armatis circumsaeptus senatus nihil aliud vere potest decernere nisi se timere—in Capitolio signa sunt, in urbe milites vagantur, in Campo castra ponuntur, Italia tota legionibus ad libertatem nostram conscriptis, ad servitutem adductis equitatuque exterarum nationum distenetur—cedam tibi in praesentia foro, curia, et sanctissimis deorum immortalium templis, in quibus, reviviscente iam libertate, deinde rursus oppressa, senatus nihil consulitur, timet multa, adsentatur omnia.

Sed cum magnam animadverteret in bonis et possessioni- bus difficultatem, quod et eos quos ipse restituerat, quorum bona alii possederant, egere iniquissimum esse arbitrabatur et quinquaginta annorum possessiones moveri non nimis aequum putabat, propterea quod tam longo spatio multa hereditatibus,? multa emptionibus,3 multa dotibus+ tenebantur sine iniuria, iudicavit neque illis adimi nec iis non satis fieri quorum illa fuerant oportere.

Cui cum exposuisset patriam se liberare velle causam- que docuisset, a rege opulento vir summus facile impetravit ut grandis pecunia adiuvaretur.

When the heralds from the king had said what they were ordered to say, the generals were very angry, and Clearchus, after telling the rest to give what- ever reply seemed best to them, went away to do something which he had begun before these men came. So the other generals told the heralds that they would not give up their arms, for if they did that, they were afraid that they would be deprived even of their liberty; and besides,’ they would be worth? much more to the king if they had their arms than if they gave them up. But no one would declare’ whether they intended to remain where they were or go away.

If we should slay you, who are our friend and benefactor, we should deprive ourselves of the hope to return in safety to our native land. We know that you are able to help us and we believe that we can be of service? to you by conquering for you nations which are now hostile to you.

The king will never willingly permit us to report to the Greeks that though so few in number we defeated him.” To those who said this Clearchus replied: ‘If we try to march away it will be neces- sary to fight at once. But we have no cavalry, so that even if victorious, we could not accomplish anything; if defeated, no one of us would be saved.”

While the Greeks were encamped here, Tissaphernes came to them and said: “T was the first to report to the king that Cyrus was marching against him, and we plotted together to kill Cyrus. Although I did this, I am friendly to you and I asked him to allow me to lead you safely back to Greece. He bade me ask you why you marched against him. I advise you to answer moderately,’ so that I may be able to save you.”’ Clearchus replied that they would not have attacked the king had they not been persuaded by Cyrus, and that they wished to return home without injuring anyone.

The Lacedaemonians had in mind to march against the Persians, since they believed most of the countries through which they must pass were friendly. At this time, however, those at home perceived that the largest cities in Greece were preparing to attack them, and they sent a messenger to their king bidding him to come to their aid with all speed. He was troubled* when he considered? the honors and hopes of which he was now deprived. But he called the allies together and told them that Sparta had summoned him. He promised to return to accomplish what they now desired, as soon as conditions‘ should be satis- factory in Greece. On hearing him, many wept and all voted’ to go with him to save Sparta.
