The role of the instructor in English-teaching stu- dents to read, to write, and perhaps, to think-changes little from year to year. What is noteworthy, then, is not an eye-catching revamping of 'gmaterials or methods , but something far more impressive, a change in student attitude. In some strange and remarkable way, most students have discovered in their progress, through the upper school that intellectual exercise can be exciting, that learning Cat the risk of being corny,'J can be fun. For the part they have played in bring- ing about this small-scale intellectual renaissance, the Class of 1960 has earned the respect and admiration of the English Department at GPUS.
