To two exemplary faculty members, we extend our appreciation for the academic as well as moral lessons we have learned rom them Arsene Croteau On September 15, 1955, Mr. Arsene Cro- teau, Head of the Foreign Language Depart- ment for 28 years will retire, officially, from the University. However, one guesses and may be quite certain that his activities will be as numerous and energetic as he has demonstrated to all who have known him. For eleven years at the Connecticut Agri- cultural College he broadcast in French and Spanish over WCAG then on FM through WTIC as well as a Waterbury station. Mr. Croteau says that he started work on his doctorate but became interested in radio work and the presen- tation of foreign language plays with his stu- dents. One of his pet projects has been the prep- aration of teachers of foreign languages. ln 1924, he organized the first course at UConn on methods of teaching. In addition, he supervises about five practice teachers a year and has been a member of the State Board on betterment of the teaching of foreign languages in high schools. Another project of his, carried out in conjunction with the University's Audio-Visual Center has been the recording on tapes of songs and stories by himself and his students. This work was begun in 1954 and, in that year, the center distributed 564 tapes to high schools in the state where they were used as teaching aids. In 1937 he received the Palmes Aca- demiques from the French government for his work in the publishing and teaching of French. He has written scores of articles and, with Dr. Selvi, has completed several texts. During the past semester he finished another book, The Virgin of Guadalupe which will be distributed to the French public.
