is Q anguage Department The study of foreign languages makes for the better understanding of people of other lands. On that basis only can we ever hope for world peace. A knowledge of other languages enriches the student's vocabulary, since many English words are de- ,-fvv-ww rived from them. It aids the student in reading our literature because of the innum- erable allusions to the literature and mythology of other lands found in our modern reading. ,.,N,-cfs,-sf-v Publications of the language department include Lux Classensisn, Product of the Latin students and The Melting Pot , Put out by the students of French, Spanish, and German.
