Full four-year courses are now offered in each curriculum. In the past four years mathematics IV and introduction to calculus have been added to meet the growing needs. Stress has been placed upon both the theory of mathematics and its practical application and demonstration. Presently 1150 students are enrolled in mathematics courses as opposed to barely 400 in 1949. Of this total 690 are taking college preparatory mathematics courses. Growth in the Mathematics Department has evidenced itself in added classrooms, new equipment, increased staff mem- bers, and enlarged curriculum.

Language Growth With the increased importance of maintaining good relations and understanding between nations, the study of a language whether it be Latin, French, or Spanish, has become an essential part of every- one's education. By being exposed to another culture, the student learns not only the mechanics of another language but he also acquires a broad background of the literature, philosophy, and history of the country, together with a deeper understanding and appreciation of his own language and literature. More students are discovering that even the two-year minimum requirement of a foreign language does not give them sufficient back- ground to meet the demands of college prerequisites. The Language Department has expanded so that it might give the student ample op- portunity to obtain a complete language education. A modern-language laboratory is planned for next year so that the French and Spanish classes may gain a more realistic accent by hearing their adopted languages spoken as they should be. Also starting next year, four years of Spanish and French will be offered. Until this year, the fluctuation of the number of students interested in third and fourth-year Latin determined whether the study of Cicero or Vergil would be offered. Now both courses are taught at the same time.
