VISION TWO In Division Two the Wabash student is exposed to the Humanities, which include English, foreign languages, philosophy, religion, and speech. Many found the so-called dead languages” weren’t so dead after all, while we all enjoyed bits of discourse in the idioms we learned in classroom. The third floor of Center Hall was a center of activity for those doing work in speech, debate, or dramatics, although rather severe critcism of the Great Books” issued forth here. Division Two still tried to make the old world live for the new. In the basement of the chapel philosophy, art, music, and Latin were taught while the chapel organ groaned above our heads. In old South Hall, which this year served its last days for Wabash, the romance languages were taught on the second floor while on the first floor the student body and faculty were inclined to hold long boresses in the Scarlet Inn.
