Excerpt from The Arts Course at Medieval Universities With Special Reference to Grammar and Rhetoric: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

My acknowledgments are due above all to Professor Charles H. Haskins, of Harvard, formerly of the University of Wisconsin, under whom this work was begun and who constantly aided me with encouragement and scholarly advice. For similar kind nesses I am also indebted to Professors Arthur C. Howland and Edward P. Cheyney of the University of Pennsylvania, and Dana C. Munro of the University of Wisconsin. Professors Lewis Flint Anderson, William Abbot Oldfather and Macellus M. Larson of the University of Illinois carefully read the manuscript. I wish to thank them for their valuable suggestions. During my stay in Paris, Professor Ch. V. Langlois of the University of Paris aided me very considerably in my work at the Sorbonne and at the vari ous libraries of the city. With Professor 0. Molinier of the Uni versity of Toulouse I carried on a correspondence to which that gentleman devoted an amount of time, patience, and scholarly re search such as I should never have expected from a total stranger. I am also especially indebted to Professor James Smith Reid, who kindly gave me access to some manuscripts at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, England, and to Walter M. Smith, Librarian of the University of Wisconsin, who helped to make my work easv and pleasant at Madison, Wisconsin.
