Avenue to nderstandingu oclern Language Fascinating is the world we live in. Captivating are its ideas and its peoples. liven more attractive is the relation between this world and that of the past. Where is this connection found? ln the modern languages of today we meet the conceptions of the past and the ideas of the future. Such a study brings closer a people and land far from tangible experience. French is the connecting plane between a real, pres- ent-day France and an illustrious past. Bringing peo- ples closer together through the understanding of a culture and its language is one means of hope for today's troubled world. Spanish. another provocative modern language, draws out the students energies to think, to associate, and to understand: and is especially important throughout the state of California. The wealth of knowledge to be found in the language of other peoples is theirs to grasp. and presents a worthy challenge to the mind. fpanish Mr. Lucas explains the technique of Spanish matadores to Chris- tina and Bradford.

English- Slorehouse of Beautv and ulture Literature of Ellglilllfl Literary England, important dates and places, explained by Mr. Rewak to Mclineany and Crimmins. American Literature 6'-x lfnglish is perhaps the most necessary course taught at Bellarmine. Only through an intelligent and thorough un- derstanding of grammar and structure can one communi- cate intelligently with others. Through the study of litera- ture. past and present. the student grasps the wisdom ac- quired through the centuries. The great masters and master- pieces are uncovered in the eyer intensifying and ever searching light for knowledge. One can find a vein of gold in being able to appreciate the realism of Chaucer. the romanticism of Shakespeare, the humor of Twain. or the genius of a lfugene O'Neill. English at Bellarmine then is an attempt, and a success- ful one, to develop in the student a recognition of the im- portance of the language which he speaks and an apprecia- tion of its contribution to our culture.
