DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF UNIVERSITY STUDIES OF THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY, BY PELHAM EDGAR, ASSOCIATE-PROFESSOR OF FRENCH IN VICTORIA UNIVERSITY. TORONTO: WILLIAM BRIGGS. WESLEY BUILDINGS. 1899 recat, 10-24-44 R.G.F LIFE. I was born in Toronto, Canada, on March 17, 1871. I received my early education at Upper Canada College, and matriculated at the University of Toronto in 1887, where, with the intermission of a year, I remained until the spring of 1892. In that year I graduated with the Governor-General's medal in Modern Languages. For the three following years I taught Modern Languages at Upper Canada College, at the same time working under the general direction of Dr. Bright. In the autumn of 1895 I entered the Johns Hopkins University, where I followed courses in English, German and French. In January, 1896, I was appointed Scholar in the Department of English, and Fellow in June of the same year. I have studied under Dr. Bright, Dr. Brown, Dr. Wood, Dr. Menger and Dr. de Hahn, to all of whom I desire to express my gratitude. To Dr. Bright, especially, I wish to convey my warm appreciation of the benefit I have received from his stimulating and sympathetic direction of my work. PELHAM EDGAR. |
