MARGARET LAHEY English English The English department operates in a dual role as arbiter of grammar and champion of literature. During the earlier years one too often associates English with “who’s” and “whoms” and “split- infinitives”, until a sentence seems not an expres¬ sion of thought or emotion but a string of words that can be broken cfown and neatly diagrammed. Sometime during these four years the student be¬ gins to think of language in its noblest form—lit¬ erature. True literature reveals the realm of man: his nuances of emotion and his place in the uni¬ verse, by appealing to something in the reader deeper than his intellect. It unites one to all man¬ kind—those of three thousand years past and those of three thousand years to come, expanding, in the words of DeQuincey, “man’s latent capacity for sympathy with the infinite.” MARGARET MIRANDA English AUSTIN J.

Science For them truth comes not from building but from taking apart. Their bible becomes the micro¬ scope, the test tube, the slide rule, and they learn to say with Pascal, “What is man as compared with the universe?’’ Science is educational, it is instructive, and yet a bit humbling too. For in analyzing and examin¬ ing, one comes to realize the vastness and com¬ plexity of his world from the tiniest chromosome, or electron, to the largest galaxy millions of miles away. And from this dissection will come, ideally, understanding which is in turn the key to progress. E.
