English The Carleton campus displays a variety of architectural styles from the medieval Skinner Chapel to massive, mod- ern Olin Hall. But none can compare in originality with Williams, whose treacherous stairs and labyrinth halls place it in a class all its own. In this unique structure dwells the English department. Returning this year as head of the Williams contingent was Mr. Elledge. While abroad, he edited Eighteenth- Century Critical Essays a two volume collection of writ- ings in literary criticism and aesthetics. Thirteen strong, the English department is the largest at Carleton and influences in some way every student here. Those who attended the first convocation in February will pleasantly recall Mr. Sheridan's literary criticism of ':Alice in Wonderland. Earlier in the year the student body was informed of Mr. Jenkins, poor man's sabbatical. In the spring Mr. Shain lectured at Salzburg, Austria, on recent American literary criticism and modern American poetry, thus bringing distinction to Carleton. The big event of the year was the arrival of novelist John Dos Passos on campus. Invited by the American stud- ies seminar to Carleton, Dos Passos also spoke at an after- noon meeting arranged by the English Club. Four other highlights of the year were the quarterly issues of the Carleton Miscellany, the literary magazine started by Mr. Whittemore. But of all the student contacts with the department, those cemented in English classes are the most lasting and rewarding. The memories of 8 o'clock drama class, senior Ann Holter's interpretation of Emily Dickinson, Shake- speare in Goodsell l, and creative writing class will linger long.
