The Davydov splittings are calculated for the 3800-Å state in anthracene. A point-dipole model is used which represents each excited molecular state by a classical dipole. This allows the vibrational sublevels and depolarization forces of an excited state to be included self-consistently in the dielectric function. The numerical splittings are in reasonable agreement with experiment.
