PH. D.
Here only general hints and suggestions can be given,
the course adapting itself to the preferences of the student.
The foundations will be laid in a thorough knowledge of
Gothic, Old and Middle High German, and Old French to
the Sixteenth Century; phonetics will be carefully studied;
and the principles of comparative grammar and syntax will
be duly explained.
Frequent conference, stated examination, and original
research will form essential parts of this course.
The professor's large and choice collection of Anglo-Saxon,
English, German, and French philological works is
open to the students.
