ENGLISH George P. Hayes Professor One of the most popular departments on our Agnes Scott campus is the English department, with its many courses covering the literature of all ages. Through its capable members we are led to a deeper appreciation of all the hidden treasures of both prose and poetry. Although we may suffer while writing a research paper or analyzing poetry, we finally feel richly rewarded for our efforts and carry away a real understanding of and inspiration from the greatest works of all times.

LANGUAGES The departments of classical and modern languages provide an opportunity for visiting far-away lands through the study of their languages and customs. Emphasis is placed upon conversational ability in Fre nch, Ger- man, and Spanish, and upon the development of a broad reading knowledge in Latin and Greek. Language clubs, record classes, and lan- guage tables in the dining hall supplement classroom instruction in offering students a means of increasing their proficiency in and enjoyment of the languages.
