GERMAN.

Professor Edward.

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.

1. Beginners' German.—Pronunciation, dictation exercises, elements
of German grammar (eighteen hours); reading of simple German
(prose and poetry)—conversation on matter read (eighteen hours);
parallel reading to be assigned.

Text-Books.—Bierwirth's Beginning German; Mueller and Wenckebach's
Glueck Auf.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Rotunda, Room 2.

2. Advanced Course.—German lyric and ballad poetry since 1730.
Lectures on the German lyricists and Balladists, with reading and interpretation
of selected poems from Von Klenze's Deutsche Gedichte.
Written work in German based on poems read in class. Parallel reading
in Von Klenze and in Thomas' History of Modern German Literature.

Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Rotunda, Room 2.

Credit.—The Beginner's Course is exactly equivalent to the second
term's work in German 1A in the regular session of the University,
and corresponding credits will be granted therefore by the Dean of
the University, to those students fulfilling the conditions set forth on
pages 16 and 17.

The advance course in German is exactly equivalent in character
and scope to the second term's work in German 2B in the regular session
of the University, and has been approved as such by the Academic
Faculty of the University. Corresponding credits therefore will be
granted by the Academic Faculty to the students successfully completing
this course, who have fulfilled conditions set forth on pages
16 and 17.
