INTRODUCTORY

The aims of the Department of Latin are as follows:

1. To develop the power of rapid and intelligent reading, in the Roman order, and without translating.

In connection with this aim, but also for its independent value as a means of educating the higher literary taste, provision is made for practice in the writing of Latin: first, in connection with the work of the Junior Colleges, and later, in Senior College courses.

2. To offer a wide range of reading in the important authors.

3. To provide for the systematic study of the life of the people in its various aspects-political, legal, social, religious, etc.—through special courses in Roman History, Roman Politics, Roman Private Life, Roman Religion, Roman Philosophy, and Roman Oratory. In addition, courses in Greek and Roman Art have been provided by the Department of the History of Art, and a course in Roman Law by the Department of Political Science.

4. To offer to students whose tastes lead in the direction of the historical side of the literature opportunities for the study of selected portions of Roman History from the sources.

5. To provide a systematic treatment of Latin syntax, with some study of methods of proof, either as equipment for teaching in universities or schools, or as introductory to special research courses. This treatment is provided for in course 45 (see under section 7 below).

6. To offer advanced courses-conducted partly by lectures, partly by practical exercises, and partly by work in the seminars in the interpretation of Latin literature, and in the study of the historical development of literary types; in the study of the earliest existing remains of the language; in the interpretation of inscriptions; in the reading of facsimiles of manuscripts, and the treatment of problems of textual criticism; in the critical study of selected portions of some author; and in the comparative study of Greek and Latin syntax and the investigation of unsettled problems in this field. Provision is also made by the Department of Comparative Philology for courses in the Italic dialects, and in Latin grammar on the side of sounds and inflections.

7. To offer special opportunities for training to students who take up the teaching of Latin as a profession. These opportunities are increased by the resources presented by the School of Education.

Three kinds of courses are arranged: (1) Courses in the study of the teaching of particular years, or parts of years, of the high-school course, with participation in this teaching, under the eyes of the instructor. (2) More summarized courses in the individual authors taught in the high school. The work will be supplemented by visits to the corresponding classes in the School of Education (see course 46). (3) More general courses, one in matters necessarily underlying all teaching of Latin, such as pronunciation, syntax, word-order, and the application of the knowledge of these subjects in acquiring power to read (see course 45), the other, a broader course dealing with matters with which all teachers should have some degree of familiarity (see course 47).

Most students who are beginning graduate work will find it advisable to take further reading courses before electing courses of a more technical character.

The work of the seminars can be done with most profit by those who have already spent a year or more in graduate study at the University.

All graduate courses and the Senior College courses numbered above 14 are accepted as work leading to a higher degree.

The following departmental regulations supplement the general regulations in cases of candidacy for the Master's degree in Latin.

A student looking forward to candidacy for the Master's degree in Latin may consult in the first instance any instructor in the Department. It is advisable that this consultation be held in the first quarter of graduate residence. The instructor will refer the case to the committee of the Department on the Master's degree.

If the intention of candidacy is approved by this committee, the head of the Department will assign to the student an Official Adviser, under whose general charge and direction will fall the guidance of the student in the choice of courses taken for the degree (under the general regulations of the University and the supplementary regulations of the Department) and the preparation of the required dissertation. Such choice of courses and selection of a dissertation subject must also be finally approved by the Head of the Department, before the applicant be admitted to candidacy.

The dissertation in completed form must be examined and passed upon by the candidate's Official Adviser and by one other instructor in the Department, to be designated for the purpose in each case by the Head of the Department. Candidates for the Master's degree are required to pass the regular class examinations in the eight major courses presented for the degree at the conclusion of the respective courses, and to maintain in each course a standing no lower than grade C (according to the standard set for undergraduates), and to maintain in the entire group of eight courses an average standing no lower than grade B.

Candidates for the Master's degree are also required to pass a satisfactory final examination at least one week before the Convocation at which the degree is conferred. This examination is partly written and partly oral. The written examination will precede the oral, and will test the ability of the candidate to translate Latin prose and poetry into English, and English prose into Latin. The oral examination will test the candidate's specific knowledge of the immediate field of his dissertation, and his acquaintance with two of the eight major courses presented by him for the degree. The designation of these two courses will be made, and the candidate informed thereof, by the aforesaid committee in consultation with the candidate's Official Adviser two months before the examination is to be held.

Candidates for the degree of Ph.D. in Latin and Greek (when Latin is the principal subject, Greek must be offered as a secondary subject) will be expected to show, besides an intimate knowledge of the principles of the two languages and facility in using them, a familiarity with Greek and Roman history and the history of Greek and Latin literature, and a special knowledge of a chosen author or authors in each language.

For candidates for higher degrees who desire to do a part of their work in Sanskrit and Indo-European Comparative Philology, or in the Romance languages, arrangements may be made, upon consultation with the head of the

Latin department, whereby a certain moderate amount of work in these subjects will be accepted in place of a corresponding amount in Latin. In special cases certain linguistic courses in English or Germanics may be similarly accepted. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
