(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

James Finch Royster was born at Raleigh, N. C. , the second son of Wisconsin Illinois and Mary Wills (Finch) Royster.
Prepared at the Raleigh academy, in 1897 he entered Wake Forest College, where the enthusiasm of Benjamin Sledd awoke a continuing interest in linguistic and literary studies. Grounding himself on Latin and Greek, the young student displayed an increasing ability in Germanic philology, particularly Old English and Middle English. He was graduated from Wake Forest in 1900. He entered the graduate school of the University of Chicago, where he was strongly influenced by John M. Manly. Then he spent eighteen months at the University of Berlin, 1902-03. At the University of Chicago he won his doctorate in 1907, his dissertation, an edition of an unpublished Middle English Treatise on the Ten Commandments (1911) being characteristically workmanlike.
After studies, Royster became an instructor in English at the University of Colorado, 1904-05 and an assistant in English at the University of Chicago in 1906-07. Later he was called to the University of North Carolina, where he served as associate professor of English. Linguistic articles marked by commonsense methods, editorial work on Studies in Philology, and the fostering of graduate study increased his reputation; and in 1914 the University of Texas called him as professor of English with a view to modernizing its literary curriculum.
Although his research interests were linguistic, he battled what he regarded as philological antiquarianism in the name of modern letters, but, feeling that academic conservatism was too strongly entrenched to be routed, he welcomed a recall to the University of North Carolina in 1921 as Kenan professor of English philology. At Chapel Hill he was in his element, a member of perhaps the most brilliant group of literary scholars in the South including Edwin Greenlaw, then dean of the graduate school, and Thornton Shirley Graves.
As dean of the college of liberal arts, 1922-25, he steadily labored for a humane and vigorous curriculum. Upon the translation of Greenlaw to The John Hopkins University in 1925, he was appropriately made his successor as dean of the graduate school, with the task of maintaining and extending the brilliant work of his predecessor in fostering university research work. His devotion to the institution led to over-work, and the death of his beloved wife in 1928 shook a personality already suffering from strain. Appointed to the directorship of the American University Union in London, he left to take up his duties in the summer of 1929, broke down in mental health after reaching England, and returned to die at Richmond, Va. , from self-inflicted burns.
Inevitably his writing suffered from his administrative labors; an occasional article on Chaucerian or similar problems was all he could find time for. He left behind him no body of writing fully representative of his great powers. His best platform was the classroom.
Under Royster regime Chapel Hill became notable as the flourishing center of graduate study. He was an editor of "Studies in Philology". Both the circulation and the reputation of the journal increased during his five-year administration. Besides various textbooks, his characteristic articles were "Old English Causative Verbs" (Studies in Philology, July 1922) and the revolutionary "I'll Not Trust the Printed Word--" (Ibid. , July 1917).
