MARGARET GUTHRIE WALTER EDWARD McNAIR TROTTER ASSISTANT PROFESSOR ASSISTANT PROFESSOR ENGLISH The English department is one which reaches all Agnes Scott students. By offering a wide range of courses, it provides a rich background for a liberal education. Besides directing students ' footsteps in profitable paths during college days, the capable members of this department furnish a basis for a rewarding intellectual life beyond campus experience. SPEECH Nearly everyone has some of the actor in him. One of the better known functions of the speech department is to train students in dramatics and play production. How- ever, before one reaches this stage, he must first study the fundamentals of effective speech. The dramatics club, Blackfriars, gives fine performances quarterly, and speech students often sponsor chapel programs that entertain the entire campus community. JANET LORING INSTRUCTOR FRENCH The members of the French department recognize the necessity of being familiar with the thought and customs of countries other than our own, if we would live wisely and well in a world which by virtue of scientific progress is ever decreasing in size. This awareness makes the French department one of the most up-to-date on the Agnes Scott campus. A speaking and reading ability of the language is acquired plus a kn edge of the country itself. GERMAN One of the most popular language departments at Agnes Scott is the German de- partment. Emphasis is placed not only upon conversational ability but also upon a broad reading knowledge. The work in this department is made even more interesting by language clubs, record conferences, and special language tables in the dining hall.
