The German department purposes to give its students the opportunity to master that knowledge. Women students who major in German must li e in German House, and all students of the language attend conversation hours there. German majors may work toward membership in the honorary society, Delta Phi Alpha. The study of Greek and Latin provides the student with the origin of many of the most profound thoughts and theories ever proposed in history. It illuminates the foun- dations of our lanouage and ' ields the models for much of the world ' s greatest art. In almost every sphere of study a knowledge of the classics proves its alue.
