courses during the regular first term of the Summer Quarter may complete
these courses, undertaking at the same time the first week's work

in French C who is registered for any other course will be
dropped from French C. After August 1st, any student registered

contemporary French literature is taking. There will be reports and a general
round table discussion on the works read.

The entire course comprises the history of dramatic literature from the origins
of the Spanish theatre to the end of the Siglo de Oro, with readings from Lope de
Vega, Tirso de Molina, Ruiz de Alarcon and Pedro Calderon de la Barca. The
term offered in the Summer Quarter, 1927, corresponds to the 1st term's work, and
covers one-third of the entire work of the course.

Careful study is made of the historical and social conditions of Spain from the
middle of the fifteenth to the end of the seventeenth century. Detailed study of
the origins of the Spanish theatre, and of the development of the Spanish drama
through the work of Lope de Vega, is carried out; and five dramas of Lope are
read. The first hour each day is devoted to a lecture by the instructor; and the
second, to the presentation of short papers written by the students on topics assigned
by the instructor, and to discussions of points suggested for special examination.
