A secondary object is the attainment of some degree of speaking and writing ability. In the study of Spanish the purpose is. to acquaint the student with the elements of Spanish grammar and easy composition with special emphasis on the Spanish verb and the building up of a useful vocabulary, thus preparing the student for the practical use of the ianguage in subsequent reading of cultural literary and practical material. Instruction in the department of Swedish is directed to- ward the following objectives: the development of a read- ing and speaking knowledge of the language; an acquaint- ance with the main currents and outstanding writers in Swedish literature; and the acquiring of a knowledge of Sweden and its people, leading to an appreciation of its distinctive cultural contributions.

LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE This department includes a group of liberal sciences which has done much to establish Augustana as a ranking school among the colleges of the country. Of the classical languages, Greek is the more popular field of study, largely because of the great number of pre- ministerial students selecting Greek as their major. This department has for its aim the qualification of the student for the understanding and appreciation of the masterpieces of Greek literature. To this end emphasis is laid upon the relative mastery of forms, the syntactical constructions, and a fairly comprehensive working vocabulary. Concur- rently with the acquisition of forms, the reading of various authors gives occasion for the study of the development of Greek civilization, manners, morals, religion, statecraft, outlook on life: and philosophic thought ranging from its primitive levels in Homer to its zenith in Socrates and Plato. In the Latin courses the student is given a thorough drill in the vocabulary and in the various verb forms besides being made acquainted with Roman culture and philoso- phies. Among the various helds of study in this department are the works of Caesar, Ovid, Cicero, Virgil, Tacitus, and Horace. The aim of the first two years of French is to give the student the power to read, with a fair degree of fluency and without translation, prose of average difficulty. Gram- mar is considered only as a means. Pronunciation and v0- cabulary are stressed. The latter courses give increasing attention to literary appreciation or aim to develop a more active and practical command of the language as a means of expression. The primary object of the study of German is the attain- ment of an easy reading knowletfge of the language. This, when attained, will make the language a valuable tool for use in graduate study and in the various arts and prufee sions, and will also make it a key to the treasures of a great ISAAC M.

Assistant Professor of English tNo picturet The Department 6f English of Augustana College pre- sents a course of study which is planned to meet the needs of the general student and of the student who intends to go on in graduate study or the teaching of English. The English work in the junior college is directed largely to the needs of the general student, and a full statement of its aims and purposes is therefore particularly impor- tant It is generally recognized that every college student should be able to present ideas and facts in clear; direct, forceful, and accurate language, and should be able to mar- shal his material in clearly constructed paragraphs com- bined in an orderly and effective plan. The freshman classes have these abilities as their goal. In the freshman English course special study is made of the source paper, that the student may know how to use the library, and be able to present the results of his study in papers .which properly acknowledge indebtedness and are valuable because they are authoritative. The freshman is taught to distinguish between original work and that which is derived from a source to see' the interrelations and values of each. Fur- ther, he is introduced to the types of literature, their stand, ards and technique. American and English literature are taught in sophomore courses from the historical point of view. Much of the em- phasis, however, is placed upon the value and interest of the literature itself. The ability of the student to under- stand, enjoy, and evaluate the works under consideration I Tl
