PH. D. COURSE.
This is designed for students who wish to make a special study of the literature
or the philology of French and German. Only those who have been graduated
in the lower courses are admitted to it. The work will be adapted to the
aims of the student, but will in all cases be designed to encourage and direct
him to original research, independent conclusions, and systematic presentation
of results.
The text-books in all the classes and the authors to be read vary from year
to year, and are subject to change at any time. The following are the books
for the class-work in 1893-'4. Parallel reading will be assigned in all classes
