Quinn English, Latin » Study of English aids in self-expression of student The careful study of English and the reading of numerous works of art are of more intrinsic value than the knowledge of the definition of a gerund or the understanding of numerous plots and counterplots. The study of English helps to develop the ability to express thoughts, advance ideas and influence others. In order that the above purposes of language may be used effectively, one must be able to think clearly, express ideas precisely and employ with facility a colorful and expansive language. The purpose of a course in English is to train the mind to organize a complete knowledge of a means of ex- pression and present opinions and further knowledge. Through the study of other persons ' opinions, in the form of literature, we soon come to a complete realization of the methods to propagate our own beliefs. Rev. Brother Christopher Charles, F.S.C.

Mr. Sheehan succeeds in making the translation of Caesar interesting for his sophomore Latin students. The world unrolls at the feet of the Latin scholar The echoes of war and victory ring out and quicken the pulse. Immortal maxims and eternal truths rouse the mind to higher ideals. Subtle humor lightens the heart. Allusions and allegories of beautiful poetry stir the soul to its very depths. This is Latin. In Caesar ' s exciting annals of strange peoples and hard fought battles, Latin comes to life as thrilling as a modern novel. Cicero ' s brilliant orations and philosophical treatises make the reader marvel at such understanding of Man. Virgil ' s poetry, exemplifying all that is beauty, cannot but force the soul to wonder at its excellence. Horace ' s witticisms, puns and biting humor awaken a smile and then a hearty laugh as the full meaning of his esoteric humor is unveiled. Through Latin literature read in the tongue of the ancients, the Loughlin man finds the world at his feet. He has the satisfaction of fully understanding the ideas of men long since dead but not forgotten, whose pens have long since been silenced, but whose beauty shall ever ring out. J0 w } ■!
