Biographical Note

Hermann Collitz was born in Germany at Bleckede in Hanover on February 4, 1855. He received his early education at the Gymnasium Johanneum in Lunberg and in 1875 he entered the University of Gottingen where he devoted himself particularly to the classical languages and Sanskrit, but giving considerable attention to Iranian, the Slavic and Germanic languages. He took his A.M. in 1879 at Gottingen and subsequently his Ph.D. At Gottingen August Fick, Professor of Comparative Philology, had a decided influence on Collitz's studies. From 1879-82 he pursued his studies in Indo-European linguistics at the University of Berlin. In 1883 he took up the post of Assistant Librarian at the University of Halle where he was also made Instructor in Comparative Philology at the newly founded Bryn Mawr College near Philadelphia. In connection with the graduate courses which he gave at Bryn Mawr College, his studies centered more and more around Comparative German Philology, and probably for this reason he was invited to represent German Philology at the Congress of Arts and Sciences held in conjunction with the Universal Exposition at St. Louis in 1904.

In 1907 he accepted the newly established chair in Germanic Philology at Johns Hopkins University. Germanic Philology, as Collitz conceived it , consisted of a comparative study of the Germanic languages in connection with such Indo-European languages as Sanskrit, Greek and Latin; and a comparison of early Germanic languages such as Gothic, Old High German, Old Norse, Old Frisian and Old Saxon, with special attention to Low German. Johns Hopkins University was probably the only university in the United States where such courses in Low German and Frisian were offered with some regularity. In 1911 Collitz attended, as a delegate of the Johns Hopkins University, the centennial celebration of the University of Christiania (Oslo). In 1916 the University of Chicago conferred on him the honorary degree of LHD. He was a member of the Linguistic Society of America of which he was elected President for 1925; and that same year he was also President of the Modern Language Association. For a number of years he served as Editor of the Germanic Section of Modern Language Notes. He was Editor of Hesperia, Associate Editor of the American Journal of Philology, and Cooperative Editor of the Journal of English and Germanic Philology. Collitz retired from the Johns Hopkins University in 1927 with the title of Professor Emeritus of Germanic Philology.

The work of Hermann Collitz covered a wide range of interests as well as an extensive period in the field of linguistics, and the bibliography of his publications is lengthy. During his life he built up the best private library in the United States on comparative and German linguistics.

Hermann Collitz married Klara Hechtenberg on August 13,1904. They had no children. He died in Baltimore on May 13, 1935.
