English Language is a body of words and the method of com- bining these words in order that they may be used and understood b ' a certain community. English is the hinguage of our community. Therefore, it is an important requisite for our citizens, and its proper use is a necessitx ' for all, especially the student who will enter the outside yorld with a desire to com- municate through words of mouth and pen. In this inside world of Bucknell, recognition is given to outstanding English and journalism students through initiation into Sigma Tau Del- ta, honorary English fraternity, and Pi Delta Epsilon, a national journalism fraternity. Both groups, in turn, aid the college community by increasing the general interest in English through the study of literature and the im- provement of journalism on campus.
