types. For the same reason the student is advised to elect also correspond-
ing courses in history, philosophy, or art. The exact grouping of courses
for a major will be determined individually for each student. But to make
more clear this purpose to coordinate the work in literature and the other
related studies, the two following typical correlations are suggested:

1. An ancient and a modern literature. Minimum requirement in
language, to begin with (unless the student is prepared to take a more
advanced course): Latin 6; or Greek 10 or 7; or English, literature courses
beyond 30 or 33; or French 21; or German 20 (except for students of
exceptional ability who may, with special permission from the chairman,
take an earlier course); or Italian, Dante; or Spanish 21.

For his other courses the student may select some period, e.g., the 17th
century, or the 19th, or some literary type, such as lyric poetry, the drama,
or the novel, and correlate the work, so far as practicable, in both the
language departments. In Comparative Literature the student will simi-
larly take courses in a comparative study of the drama, novel, poetry, or
in a special period.

For the related courses, he should take ancient history, ancient philos-
ophy, and ancient art (offered in the Department of Classics), as well as
the history, philosophy, and art of the period in modern Europe in which
he is interested. For example, for a study of the 17th and 18th centuries
there are courses in the history of modern Europe, especially History 177,
and Philosophy 135, 136, Descartes to Hume; for the Renaissance, medieval
history and history of the Renaissance. The art courses are self-explanatory.

2. Two modern literatures. For this the selection will be made from
English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish literature as outlined above,
and from modern history, philosophy, and art, according as he finds his
interest draws him to some definite period or some literary type.

In any of the possible coordinations of his work the Department of
Comparative Literature asks the student so to plan his studies that in his
senior year he can do a piece of original work in which the result of this
survey of a period or related periods will be manifest. The student, if he
has the ability, can register for such original work in addition to the thesis,
for which purpose the proseminary (151) is designed.
