Four years of French and two years of Spanish are offered, Italian is yet to come into the department. In both French and Spanish the student is given opportunity 'W' to gain a reading and speaking knowledge of the language. Especially de- lightful are the courses offered to upper class students in French. The Fables of Fontaine, the fanciful romances of Chateaubriand, the sparkling Letters de Mme. de Sevigne, Moliere's trenchant and irresistible comedies, and the briefer works of Victor Hugo-these are some of the splendid things the French student can come to know. French lyric poetry is also taught, and through this medium is gained completer un- derstanding of the French spirit than could be learned in any other way. As instructor of the Romance languages, Mr. Guiton has spent two years in Drury. During the last year he perfected his knowledge of Spanish in Chicago University. He is particularly adapted to the teaching of French, and his enthusiasm and interest in the work does much toward fostering a like interest on the part of the students. He strives not only to have the literature of his land appreciated, but he also labors for a fair pro- nunciation of his language by his students. Under his guidance the Romance languages cannot but be enjoyable and instructive. A STUDENT. -
