Latin D: Latin C1 or 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
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, topography and
remains. III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history;
reading of authors illustrating the development of Roman civilization;
study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history.—Hours by appointment.
Professor FitzHugh, Assistant Professor McLemore.
