GERMAN.

Professor Faulkner.

Two courses in German are offered, six hours lectures a week in each
course. In the course for beginners no previous knowledge of German
is required. In preparation for the advanced course, at least two years'
high school work in German or its equivalent is necessary. As the work
in both courses is arranged on the supposition that the student in either
course will devote at least eighteen hours a week outside of lectures to
the preparation for lectures and to parallel reading, students taking either
course are strongly urged to enroll themselves for not more than one
other course in the Summer School.

Students attaining a grade of 75% in either course will be given
a certificate of successful completion of the course in question. In
computing this grade, class standing is based on a daily written test
during the first fifteen minutes of the hour, covering the subject-matter
of the preceding lecture, and the other written work of the class will
be reckoned at 50%; and examination standing at 50%. Unexcused absences
are graded as zero. Excused absences may be made up by taking
in some other hour than that of the regular lecture a written class test
covering the regular class test for the day on which the absence was
recorded.

9 and 10.

The advanced course in German is exactly equivalent in character
and scope to the first term's work in German 2B in the regular

Faculty of the University. Corresponding credits therefore will
