X. THE DEPARTMENT OF SANSKRIT AND INDO-EUROPEAN COMPARATIVE PHILOLOGY

OFFICERS OF INSTRUCTION

CARL DARLING BUCK, PH.D., Professor and Head of the Department of Sanskrit and Indo-European Comparative Philology.

WALTER EUGENE CLARK, PH.D., Instructor in Sanskrit and Indo-European Comparative Philology.

FRANCIS ASBURY WOOD, PH.D., Professor of Germanic Philology.

CARLOS EVERETT CONANT, PH.D., Professor in the University of Chattanooga, Lecturer in Indonesian Philology (Summer, 1914).

INTRODUCTORY

The aim of the Department will be:

1. To furnish the requisite training for those intending to make IndoEuropean 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 program of the Department of Latin 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 Germanic 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.

NOTE.-Courses 1-7 and 10-15 are Senior College and graduate courses; all others are graduate only.
