English Verbs, nouns, complex sentences, clauses, novels, poems, plays, and paragraphs are parts of the wide variety of disciplines on which our Andrean English department focuses to make us think and write clearly, speak fluently and read comprehensively and critically. Often our success in our other subjects depends on our knowledge of and expertise with our native language. In the midst of a difficult drill on the mechanics of grammar or the fascination of an interesting story or character in literature, the Andrean student is allowed to exercise his creativity in both written and oral English. The concern of the English department is not only to develop the basic and necessary skills of the English language but to encourage us to use these skills in the development and expression of our own unique personalities. 20 — English Rev.
