GREEK

Professors: J. T. ALLEN, I. M. LINFORTH, O. M. WASHBURN, G. M. CALHOUN.

Intructor: R. M. JONES.

Facilities. The department of Greek offers ample opportunity to students to pursue advanced work, not only in the history of the Greek language and in the several branches of ancient Greek literature, but also in the fields of Greek religion, topography, epigraphy, archaeology, and papyrology. The subjects which have received special attention from members of the staff and for the study of which the facilities have been most completely developed are: Aeschylus and the history of the drama, with special reference to dramatic representation; Sophocles; Greek religion; Greek epigraphy and archaeology; the Attic Orators; Greek law and government; Greek philosophy.

Although as a matter of expediency only a small number of graduate courses are announced each year, the instructors in the department hold themselves in readiness to advise and direct properly qualified students in the investigation of any worthy problem bearing upon the Greek language or literature, or ancient Greek life.

The University Library, enriched by very large additions during the fifteen years past, contains nearly twenty thousand volumes pertaining to classical antiquity. These include, in addition to a practically complete collection of Greek and Roman authors from Homeric to modern times, complete sets of all the more important journals of classical philology and archaeology, besides more than a thousand unbound dissertations and other pamphlets.

The University Museum possesses many electrotype replicas of “ "Mycenaean" gold and silver objects, a small but well selected collection of casts of Greek and Graeco-Roman sculpture, a large number of ancient vases and facsimiles of Fayum portraits. In addition, there is a cabinet of several thousand ancient Greek and Roman medals and coins, and a very large number of lantern slides illustrating the topography, monuments, art, and life of ancient Greece and Rome.

Facilities for the publication of the results of researches conducted by the instructors and students in this department are offered in the University of California Publications in Classical Philology.

Research.-Professor Allen has recently completed a book on "The Greek Theatre of the Fifth Century before Christ," which presents in part

the results of investigations extending over a number of years. Professor Linforth has completed within the past year his book, "Solon the Athenian," which contains a biography, a text and translation of the poems, textual and explanatory notes, and a number of excursuses on various historical problems. Professor Calhoun has just finished the publication of a series of three studies on special pleas in Athenian courts.

Preliminary Requirements.-The completion of an undergraduate major in Greek, or the equivalent is the prerequisite to graduate study. Students who intend to become candidates for higher degrees may profitably pursue during their junior and senior years the program of study outlined in the Announcement of Courses, but they will find it to their advantage to consult the department regarding the courses best suited to their needs.

Teachers' Recommendations. The specific requirement in Greek is twenty-four units in courses which require a knowledge of the language. Courses 3A-3B must be included in this number, but courses 1A-1B and 2A-2B and matriculation subject 5A may not be so included.

Master of Arts.-Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts in Greek are expected to fulfill the general requirements established for the Graduate Division. Their programs should be submitted to the department for approval at the time of registration.

Doctor of Philosophy.-The Department of Greek does not consider it wise to establish a fixed curriculum of study for all candidates for the doctorate whose principal subject is Greek. It is expected, however, that before coming up for the degree a candidate will have acquired considerable familiarity with the principal Greek authors and with the general course of Greek history. In addition to this, he should have an intimate acquaintance with one or more authors or with some important department of classical study. The required thesis should be written in the field of his special interest and should grow naturally out of his special study.

As a preliminary to the work for the doctorate every applicant for candidacy must pass satisfactorily two examinations, one in his ability to write Greek prose, the other in his ability to translate into English prose reasonably simple passages chosen from the Greek poets and prose writers commonly read in colleges. At least two years of study will be required after these examinations have been passed, and until they have been passed the applicant should give most of his effort to preparation for them. Throughout his period of graduate study the student should devote himself to widening and strengthening, both in courses and in private reading, his knowledge of the Greek language and literature and of Greek history. But at least two years before coming up

for the degree he should begin to make himself a specialist in some field of classical study chosen by himself, and he should as soon as possible determine upon some subject within this field which will be appropriate for a thesis, to the preparation of which he should plan to give somewhat more than a year's time.

HISTORY

Professors: H. E. BOLTON, E. I. MCCORMAC, L. J. PAETOW, *R. RAMÍREZ, W. A. MORRIS, †C. E. CHAPMAN, H. I. PRIESTLEY, K. C. LEEBRICK, J. J. VANNOSTRAND, J. V. FULLER.

FACILITIES

The department of history offers courses and research facilities as detailed below, leading to the high school teachers' recommendation, the master's degree, and the doctor's degree in Ancient, Medieval, Modern European, English, Hispanic, and American History.

Ancient History

In the field of Ancient History it has been the aim and ideal of the department to keep thoroughly abreast of the literature dealing with the results of recent discoveries and research, so that the proper facilities and an adequate working library might be provided for an intelligent study and a proper understanding of the field as an organic whole, in connection with the general course 111. Special funds have made possible the building up of an exceptionally well equipped library in classical history and literature. In addition to the secondary material, general and special, the University Library contains practically all of the periodical sets covering the entire field of classical studies and provides extensively for the current periodical literature in all of the various special fields.

In the allied subjects of philology, archaeology, numismatics, epigraphy, palaeography, and papyrology ample material for the training of advanced students and for intensive study and research are provided by the University Library and by the University collections and museums. In addition to the standard works and special sets of such authorities as Eckhel, Babelon, Svoronos, Garrucci, Poole, Head, Hill, Imhoof-Blumer, and Macdonald (Greek coins in the Hunterian collection), the University possesses an excellent collection of some twelve hundred coins covering the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods. The University Library is particularly well equipped in archaeological literature, and contains such sets as Furtwaengler-Reichhold-Hauser, Griechische Vasenmalerei; Furtwaengler, Sammlung Somzée, Sammlung Sabouroff, * Chilean Exchange Professor in History, January-December, 1920. † Absent on leave, January to December, 1920.

and Antike Gemmen; Gerhard, Auserlesene Griechische Vasenbilder; the Arndt-Amelung and Herrman-Bruckmann sets, the Monumenti Antichi, the complete set of Antike Denkmaeler; Fondation Eugène Piot, Monuments et Mémoires; Raoul-Rochette, Monuments inédits d'Antiqué figuré; and the complete series of serial publications of the German, Austrian, Italian, French, British, and American schools or institutes, particularly the complete set of the Annali, Bullettini, and Monumenti of the Archaeological Institute. For practical training and for illustrative purposes mention must also be made of the Phoebe A. Hearst Collection in the Affiliated Colleges and the University Museum at Berkeley, and the collections in the Golden Gate Park Museum, San Francisco. Valuable material for the study of Greek cultural and economic history is to be found in the series of Greek vases representing most of the different types and periods. A special effort has been made to make the primary material in all the different fields for the period from Alexander to Justinian as complete as possible and graduate students will find the collections of inscriptions (Greek, Latin, Christian) and of papyri practically complete to date.

Medieval History

In material for graduate study in Medieval History the University Library is comparatively well supplied, as may be seen from the following list of large sets placed in the Library of European Sources:

Monumenta Germaniae historica; Collection de documents inédits sur l'histoire de France; Société de l'histoire de France; Recueil des historiens des Gaules et de la France; Chartes et diplômes relatifs a l'histoire de France; Fontes rerum Austriacarum; Rolls Series; Mansi, Amplissima collectio conciliorum; Migne, Patrologia latina, and Patrologia graeca; Acta sanctorum; Recueil des historiens des croisades; Rerum Italicarum scriptores (1723-51); Gallia Christiana nova; Collection de textes pour servir a l'étude el à l'enseignement de l'histoire; Scriptores rerum germanicarum in usum scholarum; Corpus scriptorum historiae Bysantinae; Corpus scriptorum ecclesiasticorum latinorum; Buchon, Choix de chroniques et mémoires sur l'histoire de France; Petitot et Monmerqué, Collection complète des mémoires relatifs à l'histoire de France. An attempt is being made to gather extensive materials on the mendicants and on the intellectual history of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries with special reference to Paris. The department aims to acquire for the University, as rapidly as possible, all the available books mentioned in L. J. Paetow, Guide to the study of medieval history (University of California Press, 1917),
