DR. MILDRED E. HARTSOCK WILLIAM N. HARRISON EDNA L JOHNSTON FRANCES P. WOODARD DOROTHY D. EAGLES DORIS HOLSWORTH ELIZABETH JORDON The Department of English is interested in reading and writing—writing that really says something and reading that really does something to those who open the books. The Department, much concerned with what is creative, is proud of its magazine, The Little Review; of the recent achievement of its poets and playwrights; of the plays produced by Stage and Script. Usually, the Department has about forty majors. Many of these prepare for high school or college teaching; some aspire to the stage or other types of work in the theater; some will go into journalism; a few will do editing or public relations work; others, using English as a second major, will go into the ministry. The Department has six full-time teachers and one part-time instructor. Three of these are from North Carolina; one is from Connecticut; one is from Ohio; one is from Kentucky; and now a talented Texan has joined the ranks. The Department offers several kinds of majors: the major taken by those who wish teacher-certification; the major for those who do not plan to teach in high school; and the major with a speech-drama slant. Room 217 in the Classroom Building is the meeting place for English majors. There, or in the homes of staff members, these students often talk far into the night about everything from the Beats to Shakespeare. There is an esprit de corps among them and a genuine con- cern with things of the mind. ENGLISH
