PH. D. COURSE.

This is designed for students who wish to make a special study of the literature
or the philology of French and German. Only those who have been
graduated in the lower courses are admitted to it. The work will be adapted
to the aims of the student, but will in all cases be designed to encourage and
direct him to original research, independent conclusions, and systematic
presentation of results.

The text-books in all the classes, and the authors to be read, vary from
year to year, and are subject to change at any time. The following are the
books for the class-work in 1895-'96. Parallel reading will be assigned in
all classes at the beginning of the session.
