PROGRAMME, or PROGRAM , in its See also:original use, following that of Gr. Irpiypaµµa, a public See also:notice (lrpo'yp&4ew, to make public by See also:writing), now chiefly in the sense of a printed notice containing the items of a musical See also:concert, with the names of the pieces to be performed, the composers and the performers, or of a theatrical performance, with the characters, actors, scenes, &c. In a wider sense the word is used of a See also:syllabus or See also:scheme of study, See also:order of proceedings or the like, or of a See also:catalogue or See also:schedule containing the See also:chief points in a course of See also:action, and so, politically, in the sense of a See also:list of the See also:principal See also:objects on which a party proposes to See also:base its legislative course of action,; as in the " See also:Newcastle Programme " of 1891, See also:drawn up by the Liberal Federation.
