INTRODUCTORY The Heads and acting Heads of Departments VIII-XVI compose the Committee of Management for Department XVI. The Department of General Literature, formerly known as the Department of Literature (in English), has for its theoretic basis the unity of all literature. The purpose of the Department is, by its own courses and by co-operation with Departments VIII-XV, to afford facilities for the study of literature not limited by the divisions between particular languages and peoples. The courses of the Department are open to students of the Senior Colleges, and to the Graduate School of Arts and Literature. They are designed for two different classes of students: (1) those whose main work is remote from Literature, but who may desire some literary culture as an element of liberal education; (2) those who, whether in their Senior College or their graduate work, desire to specialize in Literature. [Particular courses in Biblical Literature, where it is so specified, but no others, are open to students of the Junior Colleges who have completed twelve majors.] The work of the Department falls into three sections: (A) The Theory of Literature, including Literary Interpretation and Literary Criticism. For purposes of practical education it is believed to be impossible without the use of literature in translation to obtain a sufficiently wide induction from literary phenomena to make studies like these scientific. In this section knowledge of the original languages of the literatures concerned may or may not be assumed. (B) Comparative Literature, as the term is generally understood. The work of this section will assume knowledge of the original languages of the principal literatures concerned. (C) General Literature (irrespective of divisions between particular languages), treated as a part of general culture rather than specialized study. In this section no knowledge will be assumed of any language other than English. For Senior College courses no knowledge is assumed of any language other than English. They are designed for students who may desire, at this stage of their education, to gain an intelligent appreciation of the great land. marks of world-literature, acquaintance with which is an essential of liberal education alike for those whose main interests are, and those whose main interests are not, literary. In each period of two years there will usually be offered courses in such subjects as The (English) Bible, Homer and Virgil, The Ancient Classical Drama, Dante, Shakspere, Goethe's Faust. In addition there will be a course (No. 1) designed as an introduction to general reading (so far as such reading is in literature), and usually a course in some literary topic of special interest at the present day. The courses can be taken singly; but eight such courses would make a convenient curriculum in General Literature. The requirements as to the higher degrees are as follows: 1. Graduate students offering work in this Department as the single secondary subject for the degree of Ph.D., or as the principal subject for the degree of Ph.D., will be required to take courses in Biblical Literature and in Greek-Roman Literature, unless the Department is satisfied that adequate work in these studies has been done by the candidate previously. 2. So far as this Department is responsible for a course of work leading to a Master's Degree, it is expected that such work should include (1) Theory of Literature, (2) both Biblical and Greek-Roman Literature. This second requirement may be waived in the case of candidates whose previous record shows satisfactory acquaintance with those literatures. 3. Graduate students offering work in this Department as the single secondary subject for the degree of Ph.D. must take (a) at least two majors in Section B, (b) not less than three and not more than four majors in Section A, of which course 40 (or its equivalent) must be one. 4. Graduate students offering work in this Department as the principal subject for the degree of Ph.D. must take at least one-half of their work in Section B, this work involving knowledge of the languages of the principal literatures concerned. They will also be required to take course 40 (or its equivalent), and two more majors in Section A. [It is not found practicable at present to offer sufficient courses in Section B to render work in this Department available as principal subject for the degree of Ph.D.] Department XVI being in its nature supplementary to the other language and literature departments (VIII-XV), it will often happen that particular courses in those departments can be substituted for, or used to supplement, courses in General Literature. This is especially the case in regard to Section B. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION1 CURRICULUM OF SENIOR COLLEGE COURSES 1.
