English How can human beings, whose contacts with the world are so brief, limited, and personal, know as much as they know? Deep inside the tangle of metaphysical answers there lies a simple one — our extensive knowledge depends on the ability to understand and use our language effectively. The great importance of this statement isn’t lost on the teachers of Andrean. The Faculty demands basic good writing skills, and introduces some works of the great writers and thinkers, ancient to modern. Through four years of reading, writing, and reasoning, the student gathers skills as valuable in everyday life as they would be in a college career. Some students get a jump on that career by taking the College Composition course from Purdue and earning six college credits.
