GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
The Special Course embraces a systematic extension of
the General Course along the same lines, but is at once more
comprehensive and more specialized in certain directions;
incessant practice in translation and composition, gradually
increasing in difficulty, is continued; instruction in syntax,
in historical grammar, and in literature is given by lecture
and abstract; and an orderly reading of the great writers in
each language, chronologically arranged, is planned and
accomplished by class work and collateral reading.
PH. D.
The Advanced Course is intended for those students
that elect Romance Languages for the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy. It embraces two years of graduate work in any
two languages of the group, and is especially adapted to
students who have graduated in Latin and Greek. Study
of the comparative grammar, vocabulary, and literature of
these languages is made a special feature of this course.
Most attractive combinations can be made in this department,
such as French-Italian, Spanish-French, Portuguese-Spanish,
Provençal-French, Latin-French, etc. Graduation
in Latin is indispensable for the prosecution of a Ph. D. course
in Romance Languages. Instruction will be given by conference,
assigned private work, and stated examination, and
a dissertation evincing original research in some department
of grammar, phonetics, syntax, literature or history, will in
every case be required. Detailed courses for intending
students will be arranged by the Professor on application.
