Department of English. The aim of this department is to give such training as will enable students to use their mother tongue readily and ac¬ curately. The instruction, therefore, is practical rather than theoretical. Writ¬ ten exercises are required, and these are not only carefully read by the instructor, but are also discussed in personal con¬ ference with the individual student. In this way each student has his attention called to his most frequent errors, and suggestions especially adapted to his needs are made. A course in this department that is exceedingly helpful to the future engin¬ eers is the course in Public Speaking, which was established this year. The student here learns the art of making public addresses. Another course that is of benefit to the student is the course in Modern Lan¬ guages. A practical knowledge of Ger¬ man, French, or Spanish is imparted to the student, so that he will be aided in the prosecution of a scientific career. In the advanced work the reading is grad- n y adapted to the scientific work of other departments.
