Latin D: Latin C1 and C2 prerequisite.—A two-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.

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 (general) 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, and archaeology. III. In Roman
Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history, culminating in the Doctor's
Dissertation; the history of classical philology.—Hours by appointment.
Professor FitzHugh and Assistant Professor Lehman.
