For all of you who are going to grad school Doctor Alfred Vlright, Jr. heads a department of six people in teaching such important foreign languages as German. French, Russian, and Spanish. The teaching process is aided by the modern language laboratory located in Hathorn Hall. Through the use of quality recording equipment and magnetic tape, Bates students are greatly aided in their pronunciation and comprehension of the modern languages. Courses in literature focus attention on the writings of leading authors studied in the original language. The Foreign Language Department also works closely with the Junior Year Abroadn and lVork-Study Summer programs which allow Bates students to perfect their knowledge of a foreign language through first-hand experience.
