For Graduates.

Latin D: Latin C1 or C2 prerequisite.—A three-year course for those who
desire to specialize in classical philology, especially those who choose Latin as
their major for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. If the candidate's major
be Latin, a respectable familiarity with Greek is required. If the candidate's
major be Romanic, the technical Greek requirement is waived as far as practically
possible, and he is guided into the history of the Roman popular vernacular
and into an acquaintance with the authors illustrating the Vulgar Latin
in literature.

For the sake of first-hand access to important modern authorities in Latin
philology, the candidate is required to have a good reading knowledge of German
and French.

It is the aim of this course to prepare the candidate to investigate independently
the sources of our knowledge of the language, monuments (literary
and objective), and life of the Romans. The following is, therefore, an outline
of the course: I. In Language: Elements of comparative grammar; introduction
to Latin historical grammar; systematic grammar; reading of epigraphic
and literary monuments illustrating the history of the Latin Language. II. In
the Literary and Objective Monuments of the Romans: Reading of authors in
groups systematically planned to illustrate the literary life of the Romans;
history and interpretation of texts; elements of palaeography, epigraphy, numismatics,
topography and remains. III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of
Roman culture-history; reading of authors illustrating the development of
Roman civilization; study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history.—
Friday, Saturday, 11.30-1.30. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh, Adjunct Professor
McLemore.
