Pro ides ackground A study of English language and literature provides abackground for other professions such as law, library science, ministry, journalism, and teaching., An acquaintance with literature can make reading a life-time ex- perience. It can launch the student on a self-directed ad- venture. A book is as important as television or radio. Activities encouraged by the English De- partment are attendanceof plays, related movies, and special lectures such as the one given by James Hall, novelist and short story writer. Mrs. Katherine Mix, instructor, spends much of her out-of-class time grading papers. '
