Douglass College M.A. Scion Hall University English I It is the purpose of the English Department, headed by Mrs. Ada Judson, to develop the student’s command of his language through an emphasis on four fundamental skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Critical, logical and clear thinking is a desired goal. Clarity is also important in both written and oral communication. Grammatical instruction is part of the program. In addition, an appreciation and understanding of the thoughts and feelings of many authors is encourag- ed by a study of the best American and World Literature. Novels, short stories, poetry, plays, and biographies and other non-fiction are read for understanding and enjoyment. Interest in literature is also encouraged through outside reading and book reports. Oral reports and creative writing help the student to express himself, an ability he will find invaluable after graduation. JUDITH A. ZEIGER B.A. Wellesley College English FREDERIC L. LINK A.B., MA.

University of Notre Dame M.A. Brown University English, Journalism wSpeech, rama. am ouni a In this modern, complex world news events from all over the globe are sped to us almost as soon as they happen. The composition and techniques of journalism are therefore of great interest and value to the student. By learning the theories of the modern journalist and putting these theories into practice in the classroom, students gain experience in the factors which contribute to the publishing of a newspaper. While the major emphasis of the course is on journalistic writing, the field today includes such diverse elements as radio and television broadcasting, creative writing, and advertising. In addition, legal aspects of journalism and the history of that trade are studied. JOURNALISM Phyllis Sawyer, Sani Lulken, Karen Austin and Bonnie Tanner work on a page layout for journalism class.
