Latin, Spanish, French, and Cer- man are included in 'the course offering, which is designed to make the student proficient in his conversation and appreciative in his reading. The acquisition of fundamental skills and basic vo- cabulary is stressed in the begin- ning years, While third and fourth- year courses build toward an appreciation of the literature. Finally, outside activities as well as regular class sessions attempt to create in the student an under- standing of the other cultures and peoples which he studies.
