PH. D. COURSE.
This course is arranged to suit the needs of those students who desire to
pursue further their work in English Philology. It will comprise the further
study of Old and Middle English works, especially of Old English poetry,
or the study of Gothic and the comparative grammar of the Teutonic languages.
In addition to such examinations as may seem advisable, a dissertation
will be required, giving evidence of independent private study of some subject
cognate with the course pursued. The selection of the course and subject
is left to the student himself under the guidance of the Professor. The completion
of the M. A. Course in Old and Middle English is absolutely necessary
to the prosecution of the Ph. D. Course.
