M PROFESSOR MATHEWS CARL DARLING BUCK, PH.D., Professor and Head of the Department of Sanskrit and Indo-European Comparative Philology. JOHN JACOB MEYER, PH.D., Associate in Sanskrit and Indo-European Comparative Philology. 1. To furnish the requisite training for those intending to make Indo-European Philology their chief work. Instruction will be given in the most important branches of the family by means of courses which combine a practical introduction to the respective languages with lectures and exercises on their comparative grammar. Such courses are offered by this Department in Sanskrit, Avestan, Old Persian, Lithuanian, and Old Bulgarian, and by the English and German Departments in Old English, Gothic, and Old High German. In Greek and Latin, of which a practical knowledge is presupposed, the work will be entirely grammatical, consisting of lectures and exercises on the comparative grammar of Greek and Latin, and the Greek and Italic dialects. For work in the comparative syntax of Greek and Latin the programme of the Latin Department is to be consulted. 2. To provide for a systematic course of study in Indic Philology. The courses offered are designed to provide for the needs alike of students who turn to Sanskrit for the better understanding of Indo-European language and civilization and of those who are interested especially in the contributions of India to religious and philosophical thought. Provision is made for a consecutive course of study extending over three years. 3. To act as an auxiliary to the Greek and Latin Departments by furnishing instruction in the comparative grammar of the classical languages and in the Greek and Italic dialects. Courses 1 and 2 will also be adapted to students in the German and English Departments who are engaged chiefly in linguistic work. 4. To provide a brief introductory course, such as will be of value to the general student. The work of the Summer Quarter is intended to meet the wants of teachers of Greek and Latin who desire an insight into the methods of comparative grammar and an elementary knowledge of Sanskrit. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION *1. General Introduction to the Study of Indo-European Philology.-Brief history of the science. General principles of linguistic development; nature of changes in form and meaning; uniformity of the phonetic processes; analogy; relation of spelling to speech; language and dialect; rise of a standard language; language mixture. The grouping of the Indo-European languages; the ethnological relations and earliest history of each branch; its most important linguistic remains; the leading works of reference in each field. Indo-European antiquities ("linguistic paleontology"). No textbook is used, but a considerable range of reading is assigned in connection with the lectures. M. First Term, Summer Quarter; 10:30 2. Outlines of the Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin (Sounds and Inflections.) - This course, which is intended primarily for classical students, though also adapted to the needs of students of Germanic or Romance Philology, is meant to be eminently practical, emphasizing those relations which can be understood from a study of the Greek and Latin languages themselves, and the facts which are most helpful to an understanding of the historical development in each language. Mj. Winter Quarter; 12:00 3. Exercises in Greek and Latin Historical Grammar Based on the Study of Selected Inscriptions.— The time is equally divided between Greek and Latin, and either half may be taken separately as a Minor.

DAVID ANDERSON COVINGTON, A.B., A.M. INTRODUCTORY Ability to read Greek with accuracy and ease, and intelligent enjoyment of the masterpieces of Greek literature are the indispensable prerequisites of all higher Greek scholarship. All other interests that may attach to the study are subordinate to these, and their pursuit is positively harmful if it prematurely distracts the student's attention from his main purpose. In the work of the Junior Colleges the Department will keep this principle steadily in view, and will endeavor to teach a practical knowledge of Greek vocabulary and idiom, and to impart literary and historic culture by means of rapid viva voce translation and interpretation of the simpler masterpieces of the literature. The authors especially studied will be Homer, Xenophon's Memorabilia and Hellenica, with two or three of the minor Platonic dialogues, a few of the easier Greek orations, selections from Herodotus and Thucydides, and several Greek plays. In the Senior Colleges the chief stress will still be laid on reading and exegesis, but the range of authors presented to students' choice will be enlarged to include Pindar and Bacchylides, further study of the Drama, Theocritus and the Greek lyric poets, the Attic orators, Thucydides, Aristotle, and Plato. Special courses will also be given on archæology, epigraphy, private and public antiquities, and literary history. The ultimate aim of the graduate work is to train finished scholars, teachers, and investigators. Great pains will be taken, however, to avoid the too common error of hurrying into investigation students who lack the indispensable preliminary knowledge of the Greek language and literature. The Department will make a distinct effort to provide for the needs of students of this type. The opportunities of the Senior Colleges will be open to them, and suitable graduate courses are provided for them; they will also be admitted to the seminar as listeners and, to the extent of their ability, as active participants, on condition that they at the same time pursue special auxiliary courses of reading organized for them in connection with the seminar. Candidates for the Doctor's degree in Greek (and where Greek is the major subject Latin must be offered as the minor) will be expected to show, in addition to an intimate knowledge of the principles of the two languages and facility in using them, a familiarity with Greek and Roman history, the history of Greek and Latin literature, and a special knowledge of a chosen author or authors in each language. When Greek is taken as the major subject, special stress will be laid on range and accuracy of reading, and on the quality of the dissertation, which must be printed.
