Obviously, effec- tive understanding and use of English are necessary to every citizen of our country. It is less obvious, but not less true, that ability to enioy the world's greatest literature is necessary to all educated citi- zens. Furthermore, the divi- sion hopes to aid and encour- age those students whose creative ability indicates that they may make some con- tribution to the literature of the English-speaking nations. The objectives in teaching foreign languages - French, German, and Spanish - are the same as those iust set forth, with the exception of the reference to creative writing. Yet, besides this similarity of values in the study of Eng- lish and foreign languages, there stands a great and novel value that can be had only by the study of lan- guages other than our own, namely, the value of becom- ing acquainted with a new world of thought and expres- sion, feeling and tradition. The teaching of speech, which is the first and univer- sal form of language expres- sion, follows a like pattern. The four fields of study are forensics, dramatics, radio and speech correction. The chief obiective is the effective use of spoken English in everyday conversation and in public speaking. The sec- ondary, though extremely important, obiective is the development of individual talent for enioyment or, in the cases of exceptional tal- ent, for a professional career.

EDITH F. WHITMER Chairman of the Division of Mathematics A.B., A.M., Washington University Ed.D., University of Missouri MISS MARY LEE FOSTER Associate Professor B.A., M.S., Louisiana State University Now, at this angle . . Clyde Oxford was presented with the Freshman Mathematics Achievement award for his outstanding work. jililatijematins This department provides study in a field that repre- sents one of the oldest and most systematized bodies of knowledge. Evolved since primitive times through the inventive mind of man, math- ematics has become a logical structure of knowledge that is a highly important part of our cultural heritage. College courses in mathe- matics include material so widely applicable that some professional preparation in this field has become an im- portant and significant part of the training required for life in the present complex world. The department of mathe- matics at Henderson State Teachers College has for its primary obiective the training of students in those areas of mathematical subiect matter useful to future teachers of mathematics. A secondary obiective is the preparation in mathematics necessary for further study in science, engi- neering, business, and other fields where mathematics plays an important role. Stu- dents planning to teach in fields other than mathe- matics, and those planning pre-professional work other than teaching, find available courses that contain the mathematical concepts that are indispensable to ad- vancement in their chosen fields. A sequence of courses leading to a maior of twenty- four hours or more is pos- sible, with further studies in this specialized area for those desiring a master's degree.
