HELEN FLORENCE STEPHENSON, B.A. INTRODUCTORY The Junior Colleges.-Course 1 is required of all students in the first quarter of residence. Course 3 is required of all students having nine majors of credit. It must be taken before admission to the Senior Colleges. Students in the Junior Colleges have the following privileges of election: (a) courses 40 and 41 are open to those who have passed course 1; (b) courses 21, 28, 47, 48, 160 are open to those who have passed courses 1, 3, and 40. A Senior College Scholarship in English is annually awarded on July 1 to a student who has received the Junior College certificate within the year then ending. The award is based upon (1) standing in the courses taken, which must include courses 1, 3, 40, and 41; and (2) a special examination held in May upon the same courses. Application for more detailed information should be made to the Departmental Examiner. The Senior Colleges.-The following courses are intended primarily for students in the Senior Colleges: 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 9A, 10, 11, 21, 22, 28, 33, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48, 71, 72, 75, 77, 79, 80, 85, 87, 88, 90, 91, 130, 140, 160, 175. The following, though intended primarily for graduate students, may be taken by Senior College students who have shown marked ability in English work: 23, 26, 27, 69, 70, 84. It is recommended that the Senior College student elect his first courses from the following: 4, 9, 10, 28, 47, 48, 160. A special Graduate Scholarship in English is annually awarded on July 1 to a student who has received the degree of Bachelor from the University of Chicago within the year then ending. The award is based upon (1) standing in the courses in English taken, which must include at least five elective majors in the Senior Colleges; and (2) a special examination held in May. The examination in 1914 will be upon the following courses: 21, 22, 28, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48, 85, 160. The student may choose any five of these as the basis of his examination. More detailed information may be obtained from the Departmental Examiner. The Graduate Schools.-Graduate students who did not as undergraduates devote special attention to English should select their work at first from the courses intended primarily for Senior College students. Some familiarity with English studies is presupposed in the courses intended primarily for graduate students. The following courses, though intended primarily for undergraduates, may be taken by graduate students and will be credited toward the higher degrees: 5, 6, 21, 22, 28, 33, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48, 71, 72, 75, 79, 85, 87, 88, 90, 91, 130, 140, 160. The following courses are intended primarily for graduate students and are open to all who are properly equipped for them in knowledge and experience in study: 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 34, 35, B, C, 36, 37, 38, 39, 50, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 60, 69, 70, 73, 76, 83, 84, 86, 89, 102, 103, 150, 161, 170, 180. The Master's degree.—The general regulations concerning the Master's degree are stated on pp. 112-13. No student will be admitted to candidacy for this degree in English who has not the equivalent of the required courses, and of four of the courses 42-48. In addition, a year of graduate work is required, during which eight majors must be passed with an average grade of at least B-. These courses need not all be taken in the Department of English, but they must be approved by the Head of the Department; and at least three of them must represent advanced study in the special field chosen by the candidate. Students are especially encouraged to choose fields involving a comparative study of other literatures. The candidate is required to pass an examination, either oral or written, covering, in addition to his special field, the history of English literature. He must present a dissertation on a subject approved by the Head of the Department, which must show power of clear thought, as well as adequate investigation of the subject chosen. The ability to write good English is prerequisite to the Master's degree; no dissertation which is not well written will be considered. The thesis must be presented to the Head of the Department six weeks before the Convocation at which the candidate desires to receive the degree. The Doctor's degree.-All candidates for the Doctor's degree in English, whatever may be their special field of work, must have a good knowledge of the general history of English literature and a fair equipment in Old and Middle English. The minimum requirement in the former may be roughly indicated as represented by courses 36, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48, 70A, B, 85, 150, 160; this minimum is permitted only to those whose special interest is in linguistic study and who consequently take as their secondary subject either Germanic or Romance Philology; such students will of course take special linguistic courses in English. The minimum requirement in linguistic work for students whose special interest lies in the study of literature and literary history may be roughly indicated as given in courses 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 34. Students in this group are strongly advised to choose their secondary subject with immediate reference to its usefulness in the field to which they intend to devote special attention. Of prime importance to those who aim at a broad and enlightened knowledge of English literature in its greatest manifestations is a knowledge of the Greek, the Latin, the Romance, and the German literatures. The relative importance of these varies in accordance with the field of English literature chosen for special study; but a sound knowledge of English literature and a just appreciation of its phenomena are impossible without a considerable acquaintance with at least one of the other great literatures of the civilized world and without some knowledge of the currents of foreign thought which were most influential in England during the period chosen for special study. The Head of the Department and the other instructors will be glad to discuss with candidates their special interests and plans, and to make suggestions in the furtherance of them. A satisfactory dissertation upon a subject approved by the Head of the Department must be presented at least three months before the Convocation at which the candidate wishes to receive the degree. After the dissertation has been accepted, the candidate must present himself for a special public examination in accordance with the general regulations of the University. The Doctor's degree is not conferred merely for faithful and accurate work, however great in amount; the candidate must exhibit some capacity for 1 |
