If R is a Dedekind domain, then div splits i.e.; the maximal divisible submodule of every R-module M is a direct summand of M. We investigate the status of this result for some finite-dimensional hereditary algebras. We use a torsion theory which permits the existence of torsion-free divisible modules for such algebras. Using this torsion theory we prove that the algebras obtained from extended Coxeter- Dynkin diagrams are the only such hereditary algebras for which div splits. The field of rational functions plays an essential role. The paper concludes with a new type of infinite-dimensional indecomposable module over a finite-dimensional wild hereditary algebra.
