French The two fleshv folds, which surround the orifice of the mouth of man, ha e the primary function of keeping the mouth moist; they are called the lips. They also play an important part in the articula- tion of ' arious sounds which are used in human speech communica- tion. Similarly the culture of the world would be less articulate without the ideas of the French people expressed in their literature and lanyuaoe. This is the reason that FRENCH is such an integral part of the college curriculum. Certainly any student, who wished to enter the field of foreign service upon graduation, would find himself unprepared if he had not mastered the language of diplomacy. Yet the language is of benefit to any de eloping student, for eyen the sounds of this beautiful language are of aesthetic yalue.

Spanish The palate is the roof of the mouth, the supported structure of man ' s mouth and the soft fold suspended from its posterior margin. As the sounds of speech come through the throat, the ' are resounded and given resonance as the ' hounce against the palate ol the mouth. Thus the roof of the mouth is an essential in human speech and communication. The SPANISH language has a similar function in the college ciuriculum, because it acts as the sounding hoard lor the thoughts and experiences of all those nations for whom it is ilu ' nati e tongue. The dexeloping student would be as impaired witii out the ideas disclosed in Spanish as the human ' oice wciuld he without the palate of the mouth.
