Case Wolfe Owens Sabourin Magoon LANGUAGE To better understand and appreciate the culture and civilization of other peoples, a study of their language is a necessary factor. On the second floor of the library, classes in French, German, and Spanish are held. Classes in Latin are held in Pierce Hall. Training future teachers of language is the task of the staff that is headed by Professor J. hienry Owens. When term papers are due and reference material is needed, the library becomes ex- ceedingly busy, and white slips are passed endlessly across the counter. Miss Elsie V. Andrews, Head Librarian, supervises the busy staff of assistants, who directstudents to Readers ' Guide, the atlases, and magazines,- and who bring out all books needed to complete o course of study.
