II. German.
B. A. COURSE.
The B. A. course in German is, like the corresponding course in English,
designed to lay a broad foundation for the intelligent study of the
language on both the philological and the literary sides. To accomplish
this purpose successfully an accurate knowledge of English
grammar and a few months' familiarity with the rudiments of German are
necessary as preliminary to entering the class. A carefully selected
series of text-books will gradually introduce the student to the pronunciation,
grammar, syntax, and translation of the language, exercises
once a week in German script will familiarize him with grammatical
analysis; and appropriate texts on the history and literature of
Germany will introduce him to these important sides of the study.
Parallel reading is required. Three times a week.
