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.
