E GLISH wifi' Father John J. Mulroy, M.A. Chairman of English Department, Public Speaking Milton is quoted by Father Mulroy to emphasize a point. Realizing the importance of clear and accurate communication in today's world, the English Department has undertaken the pro- motion of two of the most important fields of communication-spoken expression and the written word. On one hand the department encourages the development of a large and effective spoken vocabulary as well as the proper use and dependence upon the powers of speech-both public and conversational. On the other hand, it affords students the opportunity to express ideas on paper. ln this field training in appreciation and analysis of current and background literature is an in- tegral part of the development of effective rhetoric.

MATHEMATICS Brother Philip Neri, C.F.X., M.S. Chairman of Mathematics Department, Electronics, Advanced Placement Calculus, Math Club, Electronics Club Brother Maurice applies vector addition to complex numbers. Recognizing the unique position of mathe- matics as a tool of science and a servant to modern man, the Department of Mathematics strives to develop both a familiarity with principles and logical reasoning as well as an appreciation of the role which mathematics plays in modern life. This is accomplished by placing proper emphasis upon the develop- ment of a working knowledge of the ground rules of mathematics and, simultaneously, by encouraging the use and orientation of these skills. When this has been done, further pro- gress is made in advancing into the new and little explored fields of mathematical interest. Students are encouraged to enter this area with self-confidence and reliance upon indi- vidual pursuits. ln the end the Mathematics Department offers the basic training necessary for the further pursuit of specialization in science, pure mathematics, or economics.
