 ENGLISH The Department of English is dedi- cated to the creativeness of students and to a study of the great literature of human history. The accomplishments of young poets, playwrights, and storytell- ers; the publication of the student maga- zine, The Little Review; the production of fine plays by Stage and Script—these are at the heart of the department’s work. The Department offers three types of major: the major taken by those who wish teacher certification; the major for those who do not plan to teach; and the major for those who wish a speech- drama slant. Approximately forty stu- dents are now working for distinction in English as majors. DR. MILDRED E. HARTSOCK A.B., A.M., Ph.D., University of Cincinnati DOROTHY EAGLES DORIS C.

 MODERN LANGUAGE The Modern Language Department of Atlantic Christian College is seeking to provide a foundation in the study of languages that will help the students to understand the people of other cultures and the world. Through this knowledge of the people and their culture we will be able to understand our own culture and become good citizens of today and tomorrow. The goal of the department is to teach the student to speak, understand, and write foreign languages and from this to learn to appreciate the culture and be able to relate it to our own. Through the regular class periods and the labs these goals are achieved. The department offers a major in the areas of French and Spanish and minors in the areas of French, Spanish, and German. The program is designed to help the student use his own language more effectively through the study of a for- eign language. English may actually be better understood through the study of a Modern Language. DR. ESTHER L. LONG A.B., Ellsworth College; A.M., Ph.D., University of Iowa HUGH B. JOHNSTON, JR. 29
