Communication is the basic foundation of society and so it is necessary for the student to become proficient in commun- ication if he is to be a successful member of society. The im- provement of the student's ability to communicate is the goal of the English Department. In the first year course, emphasis is placed upon basics. Grammar is stressed and the student is taught to w'rite simple sentences and paragraphs well. Literature at this point is in- troductory, uninvolved, and somewhat easy to comprehend. Its purpose is to acquaint the student with the various types of literature and their uses. The student is taught to employ properly the various types of writing through the second year course. Clarity and logic are stressed. The literature studied is American literature, from colonial times to the present. The works are presented categorically to further illustrate the types of written expression. The third year course offers aid in the development of creative writing. The student 'is made aware of how to say what he thinks, and he is helped to acquire the basic materials necessary for the presentation of his ideas. English literature is studied chronologically to show the progression of styles during the different periods of time. The students writing is polished by the fourth year course. The fine points of composition are studied and practiced, so that he can develop a style of his own. World literature is analyzed and the reflection in literature of the type of society that wrote it is discussed. time Viv ' I -. Qiv-Qf, ' s-' MR. LOUIS D. PRETE MR. GEORGEF DETRANA English I.
