INTRODUCTORY

The University owns a considerable number of original Egyptian antiquities and of casts of Egyptian and Assyrian bas-reliefs and other objects. It owns also several thousand photographs illustrating all branches of the history of art which are here taught. These are constantly accessible to students. Furthermore, the neighboring Field Museum of Natural History has some illustrative material, the Egyptian collection being unusually valuable; and the Art Institute of Chicago, which may be reached in about half an hour from the University, has a large number of casts of sculpture and architecture, reproductions in bronze of most of the bronze statues found in Pompeii and Herculaneum, some original works of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art, and a gallery of paintings, which includes examples of some of the great masters of the seventeenth century. Much use is made by the department of the opportunities afforded by these collections. Graduate students desiring to use any of the following courses in fulfilment of the requirements for one of the higher degrees are expected to undertake some work in addition to that required of undergraduates.

Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who make the History of Art their major or minor subject are at liberty to confine themselves to either the Ancient Period or the Mediaeval and Modern Period. Such students are, however, strongly urged to obtain at least a general acquaintance with the art of the period in which they are not specializing.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

INTRODUCTORY

The division of labor assigned to this Department is a study on the one hand of the general processes of human association, and on the other hand of the principles of conduct indicated by ascertained knowledge of social relations considered as a whole.

This double task implies, first, that the Department depends largely upon use of the methods and results of the other departments of social science, including Psychology; second, that Sociology is held responsible for some distinct contribution to the final interpretation of all the different analyses of human experience.

The union of the subjects of Anthropology and Ethnology with Sociology is merely provisional. The courses offered are intended to enable students to gain a general idea of the earlier stages of human progress, to take a survey of the races of mankind, to study the beginnings made by primitive man in times before history, and to acquire necessary methods of research in these subjects.

The courses in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology fall into the following groups: (A) General Sociology; (B) Social and Racial Psychology; (C) Social Technology; (D) Anthropology and Ethnology. Candidates for the higher degrees, if otherwise qualified, may choose either of these groups as principal or secondary subject. The minimum amount of work accepted for the Master's degree is six majors, or for the secondary subject leading to the degree of Ph.D., nine majors. If either of the above groups be chosen as the principal subject for the degree of Ph.D., a minimum of eighteen majors, approved by the Department, will be required.
