M. A. COURSE.
This course is a more specialized continuation of the B. A. course in
German on the same general lines, and is open to students who have
completed the B. A. or its equivalent. The historical study of German
is taken up; the masterpieces of German literature are systematically
studied in critical annotated texts; exercises oral and written continue
throughout the year; and the literature and life of Germany are studied
in some detail. Parallel reading is required. Three times a week.
Text-Books.—Whitney's Compendious Grammar; Behaghel's Historical Grammar;
Stein's German Exercises; Goethe's Meisterwerke (Bernhardt); Lessing,
Schiller, Heine (annotated editions); Wenckebach's Meisterwerke des Mittelalters;
Francke's or Scherer's History of German Literature.
Dictionary: Whitney's, Heath's, Adler's or Flügel-Schmidt-Tanger.
Note: The work in the B. A. and the M. A. courses is so conveniently divided
and distributed by the three-term system that the student gets over the ground
without hardship or difficulty.
