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;
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 palæography, epigraphy, numismatics, and archæology. III. In Roman
Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history, culminating in the Doctor's
Dissertation; the history of classical philology. Hours by appointment.
Professor FitzHugh and Assistant Professor Lehman.
