Professor Carl Vietor of the University of Giessen, incumbent of the Kuno Francke Professorship during the first half years of both 1935-36 and 1936-37, will join the German Department as professor of German Literature, it was announced last night.
Of the two half courses which he will offer next year on Prussian literature one will deal with the classic and romantic, the other with the phase from 1890 to 1920.
As a literary historian, Professor Vietor's published work deals chiefly with the eighteenth and nineteenth century. His books include a study of Holderlin's lyrics (1921), a "History of the German Ode" (1923), and an important monograph on "The Young Goethe" (1930).
