Mastery of languag The thoughts and emotions ofa man both universal and individual, complex and yet simple are revealed through the centuries in his writing. Man in all of his passions, in his heights of spirituality and depths of despair, in his insignificance or in his majesty, can transform the young student into a mature individual. Great literature can effect wisdom and peace within students. Running the gamut from grammar to comprehensive knowledge of a specific au- thor, the English Department endeavors to give the students a wide cultrual background in literary arts. The value of such study is manifest in the fact that students acquire an appreciation and a standard of criticism for the evaluation of literature and that of life.

The modern woman must be prepared to take marriage and parenthood seriously, to establish long- range careers and family goalsg to choose and prepare food for good h ealthg to develop skills in important areas of home management, and to enrich life by learn- ing to use leisure timewell,especially in appreciation of the arts. Alert and physically-fit collegians are better able to endure the strain of four years of concentrated study. Emphasis in physical education classes is on sports, calisthenics, and modern dance, each of which aids the st udent in developing a healthy and graceful body. Weight, Well- being, and recreation are closely related.

a step in understanding other men To open the doors to communication to the understanding of people from other nations, to walk into other worlds of prose and p oetry are the invaluable p roducts of French and Sp ani sh study. Knowing that the study of language is never complete without a knowledge of the people and their cultrual heritage as well as their modern customs, the Language Depart- ment strives to give more facility in speak- ing, reading, and writing of foreign languages. Language belongs to a peopleg it expresses their concepts and their desires. When language is separated from its life- giver, it loses its warmth and its strength. Prometheus assumes the guise of alanguage teacher and sets out to re-fire a world. -C Q51-31: 5vEubpiQlf?f 4? 1 ' Q iii :J '?31 Spires of the Notre Dame pierce a Parisian sky.
