Lalill II- .L if .A The ability to express oneself in a language other than his own is an asset in the modern world where continents are only hours apart. The study of an additional tongue also in- creases precisionin thought and aids variety in expression. The study of language is also said to be good mental dis- cipline. Latin, although a dead language, is considered to be of use in strengthening one's vocabulary because many English words are built upon Latin stems. The works of Caesar, Vir- gil and Cicero are translated and studied. In the study of Spanish, the goal is proficiency in speaking, as well as proficiency in reading and writing. The student learns simple, elementary statements which are used in actual conversation. In writing,the same procedure is followed. The language learned is a useful one, spoken by the people of tl1e southern half of our hemisphere. French is also a useful language. In its study a similar procedure to that followed in Spanish is utilized. Simple co11- versations take place and a student's vocabulary increases as he finds the words he knows insufficient for expression. K MR. ANTHOAVYC.

N, I Books for enjoyment, research, and learning are available in the library Books are a fundamental source of knowledge, and as such are very valuable to the student. The student's education should extend past the classroom and the books used in his courses, it should extend to outside reading and study. Books also can provide relaxation and enjoyment. For that purpose, the libraries were established. The Main Library is the largest. In it are contained the general reference works that the student may find himself in need of during the course of the year. A large selection of fiction and non-fiction works are also available. The periodical department makes available to the student past and current magazine issues. Paperback department. Various displays are put up bi-monthly to inform and interest the student in liter- ary activity. There is an information file containing career and college material ready for student investigation. The other library is the Science-Technology Library. Though smaller in size than the Main Library, the Science-Tech library condenses the vast fields of science and techologyinto an excell- ent research and reference facility. Cordon Tech's philosophy of putting science to practise is co-ordinated and developed here. -3-en.an..I fn l Fran!
