Equipment The University Library is well equipped for the study of classical languages. The texts of the classical authors and the best commentaries are of course there, and the Library is strong in works relating to the various phases of classical philology. The collection of journals is unusually large. In archaeology and art the Library contains most of the great publications of results of excavation of the more important sites, such as Rome and Pompeii, Athens and Olympia, and there is a rich supply of books illustrating classical archi­tecture, sculpture, painting, and the minor arts. The field of ancient history is admirably covered. Further, properly qualified students are given access to the collections belonging to the staff. The staff offices and the Classical Library are housed on the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh floors of the Tower in rooms that are not only well equipped but command superb views of Austin and all the country round about. The Classical Library contains the books most important for the courses given. In the vestibule of the twenty-seventh floor is a small but valuable collection of ancient statuettes, vases, glass, jewelry, utensils, etc. On the third floor of the Main Building are a large number of casts of Greek and Latin sculpture effectively displayed and four exhibition cases con­taining pictures illustrative of classical scenery and life. For use in lectures on classical antiquity the Department has excellent lanterns and over five thousand slides of high quality. •On leave of absence for 1942-1943 in war service. Notes on Degree Requirements Bachelor's Degrees The requirements for the several bachelor's degrees offered in the College of Arts and Sciences will be found set out on pages 35-53 of Part VI of the University Catalogue: College of Arts and Sciences and School of Education. Candidates for certain degrees are required to present two numbered courses in one foreign language. If the student presents three or four admission units in Latin, this requirement will be satisfied by completing Latin 1 and Latin 13; if he presents two admission units in Latin, by completing Latin B and Latin 1. The six semester hours of mathematics required for the B.A. degree by Plan One may be replaced by Latin 1 or Greek 1 but the same course may not be used to satisfy the foreign language requirement. A student who has in mind to present Latin as his major subject for the B.A. degree by Plan One must fulfill the requirements of the Classical Group; that is, he must present at least twenty-eight semester hours in Latin, at least twelve being in advanced courses. As a minor subject must be presented either (a) twelve semester hours of numbered courses in one other foreign language, preferably Greek, or (b) twelve semester hours of advanced courses in English. By selecting Latin as the required foreign language for the B.A. degree one may secure as many course credits as are required for a Latin major and, in effect, present Latin as a second major along with the major pre­scribed in another group. Students preparing to teach Latin will not be recommended for positions, except in very unusual instances, until they have completed Latin 214 and 25. They should by all means complete also at least two courses in Greek. In view of the demands of high schools in Texas at this time it is often advisable for students preparing to teach Latin to prepare themselves to teach also a second subject, preferably English, Spanish, or history. Graduate Degrees General prerequisites and requirements.-For the Master of Arts degree see Part VII of the University Catalogue: Graduate School, pages 19 to 21; for the Doctor of Philosophy degree see pages 13 to 17. Specific prerequisites and requirements.-ln addition to the general pre­requisites, if Latin be the major, Latin 214 should have been completed. Since the cultures of Greece and Rome are so closely related that neither can be properly understood without the other, it is urged that both be included in the undergraduate degree. If this has not been done, the student would do well to accompany his graduate study with undergraduate work in the language omitted. Especially is Greek of prime importance as an aid to a major in Latin. A student majoring in the Department of Classical Languages for the master's degree may not count any junior courses in the major, but he may count as many as six semester hours of junior work in the minor. For the Master of Arts degree the student is urged to present Greek along with a Latin major, Latin along with a major in Greek. Since the content of Latin 68 and 83 is not the same in successive years, these courses may be taken and counted more than once. For a degree of Doctor of Philosophy with the major in Greek or Latin, the other of these languages must be presented as a minor. The sequence of courses, the thesis requirement, and the special examinations are worked out with each candidate. Written examinations are required on one Greek and one Latin author and on a special field acceptable to the Department, and an oral examination is required, covering classical philology in general. The ability to read French and German is imperative and is tested by examination. Tools In the study of the Classics, as in every other field, good tools are necessary for the best work. The tools of the Classics are books. Not only is their use necessary to good work: there is a very real pleasure in the ownership of books, but not if they are marked up with the comments and interpretations of past owners. Such additions are always a defacement and even if legible are apt to be wrong. New books cost a little more but they are worth it in inspiring a feeling of self-respect and in developing a love of order and beauty. It will also be found advantageous after the course is ended to keep the classical books one has studied. They will be at once a reminder of past pleasure and an incentive to the discovery of new wisdom and beauty_ The text-books prescribed for each course are set down under its descrip­tion. Classical texts are nowadays usually beautiful examples of bookmaking and surprisingly cheap. Besides the books needed for each course, there are others of more general interest which will be found of great value. A few of them are especially recommended. They can usually be found in the University Library, but that is not to have them always at hand in one's own room. The prices given are subject to change.

Medieval Latin.-The course is an introduction to the Latin literature of the Middle Ages and should be useful especially to students of English, the Romance Languages, German, and medieval history. The Latinity of the writers studied is, for the most part, much more simple than that of the classical writers. After a few weeks given to the reading of easy stories from such collections as the Alexander romances, the History of Apollonius of Tyre, the Gesta Romanorum, the Golden Legend, and the tales of the Seven Sages, the course takes up in chronological order the chief writers of prose and poetry, beginning with Cassiodorus in the sixth century and continuing into the twelfth or thirteenth century. Stress is laid on those writers whose influence on literature and thought is particularly important. There are liberal readings from the religious poetry of the Church and the gay lyrics of the wandering scholars. Beeson, Primer of Mediaeval Latin, Scott, Foresman, $2.00. Harrington, Mediaeval Latin, Allyn and Bacon, $2.80.

Prerequisite: A Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Latin; the approval of the staff of the Department. Instructors: The Graduate Professors of the Department. CLASSICAL CIVILIZATION For Undergraduates 30ls. The Greek Element in the English Language.-A practical course de­ signed to give a better control of the very large number of Greek words in English. Consideration will be given also to the commonest Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes which appear in so many English words. It will be found useful especially to premedical students but also to students of the sciences­ geology, paleontology, chemistry, zoology, botany, psychology, and the rest. The number of technical words in English made from Greek has been esti­ mated by Smock, The Greek Element in English, Macmillan, 1931, to be well over a million, and the number is constantly increasing with the expansion of science. Study of a comparatively small number of Greek roots, the com­ monest prefixes and suffixes, and the meaning of words derived from these elements constitutes the work of the course. No knowledge of Greek is re­ quired. The course does not count as foreign language. TTS 9: Main B. 206. Mr. Reinmuth. 304/. Roman Civilization: Public Life. 305s. Roman Civilization: Private Li/e.-Classical Civilization 304f and 305s, which can he taken independently of each other, offer a comprehensive survey of the civilization of the ancient Romans and their contribution to the civiliza­ tion of our times.
