e-.7-..,...s..- fa.. . ...mr--1 --- f-.- - - - Brpartmrnt nf English F prime importance to every institution is its English department. It serves a twofold purposeg namely to familiarize the student with his own language, making him well versed in all its usages, and to , broaden his field of vision by an insight into the beautiful and the elevating in the literary world. The English language must form the foundation for whatever course the student finds himself at home in, be that the sciences. the classics or the modern languages. It is also essential for rounding out and making complete his general training. Nothing sooner places the stamp of culture upon an individual than a ready command of a rehned speech for all occmions. Furthermore, a study of literature is an end in itself. It develops in the reader an insight into life, an appreciation of the beautiful in art and in nature, cultivates a sense of love for the good and and the true, sets high standards of patriotism and of devotion to every good cause. Thus by quickening social sympathy and creating a desire for highest service, it multi- plies the possibilities -of enjoying life and adds immeasurably to its haps piness. P. H.
