PH. D.

The Advanced Course is intended for those students who 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.
