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,
and 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, and a knowledge of German
is desirable.
The first year course includes the reading of the Exodus and Daniel,
Andreas and Elene, Judith, and Beowulf, or any other old English poetry;
and the study of Wright's Gothic Language Primer, with additional readings
in Skeat's Gothic Gospel of St. Mark and Braune's Gothic Grammar.
The second year course embraces the study of Fourteenth-Century English
and the writing of a dissertation.
