Shrinking World Requires Study of Foreign Tongues In an age of rapid travel and faster communication, the knowledge of foreign languages becomes increasingly important. An awareness of the growing necessity for study in the area of foreign languages has led Millsaps to require a minimum of two years of a language from each of its students. In order to meet this requirement, the students may choose from French, Spanish, German, Latin, and Greek. The ideas and culture of Greece and Rome live on to- day in their contributions to the culture of western civiliza- tion. The study of Greek and Latin aflfords a rigorous ex- ercise in the scientific method, producing habits and re- flexes of accuracy, efficiency and system. The German and Romance Language Departments have been set up to give those students taking their language requirement a firm basis in grammar and an introduction to the literature of that language. For majors in either field, courses have been designed to give the student a broad and basic conception of the great literature and history typical to the language.
