They begin the class with buenos dias, assign the translation of Wilhelm Tell, and proceed with the conjugation of porto, portas, portat. They find an idiomatic phrase, analyze the meter of “The Assyrian Came Down like a Wolf on the Fold,” explain the role of the chorus in Greek drama, and introduce the Bard. They dictate “la, la, la,” play the Brandenburg Concerti, and beat out syncopation. They discover rhythm in a sea shell, daub oils until a portrait emerges, and define “surrealism.” Yet the common aim of all these teachers is to enable students to produce and enjoy that which is beautiful. In doing this the students gain a love of the commonplace, an outlet for their own creative powers, and an understanding of human nature. “Then turn this button to rewind it.” E. G. Gehman as- sists Lydia Glick in the language laboratory.
