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

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.

WILLEAM F. 0. BAEHR, B.S., A.Mt Librarian and meessur of Library Science IRA OLIVER NOTHSTEIN, A.B., A.M. 'r . 81;. a Assistant Librarian and Curator of t ' ' Museum 5' E's is essential. In addition, he should see in literature the development of thought and society. These are the courses in English which are required of all students because of their practical value and their neces- sity for a true understanding and appreciation of life on the level of an educated person. The more specialized English courses in the senior college offer more thorough study of great authors and outstanding periods and literary types. Chaucer, Milton, and Shake- speare are taken up in separate courses. The English Novel and Victorian Poetry are courses emphasizing types. Periods of literature are given intensified study in courses in the 18th century and the Romantic Movement in English lit- erature, and in American literature in the rise of realism and the period from 1890 to the present. A course in literv ary criticism is one of the requirements for the major in English. Qualified students are given an opportunity to continue writing in the flelds of their particular gifts and interests in a senior college writing coLu'se. A course in the teaching of English, for the prospective teacher of English in the high school, completes the comprehensive course of study in the senior college. ELTON B.
