i | | FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT HISTORY The subject of history is at the very center of a liberal arts curricu- lum. Basic to many fields in Arts and Sciences is an understanding of man's struggle and his accomplish- ments. Elizabethtown Community College offers surveys of American History and European History in addition to a number of more specialized history courses in the belief that an intelligent under- standing of the complexities of civilization is vital for intellectual maturity. The Modern Foreign Language Department at Elizabethtown Com- munity College offers the first four semesters of French, German and Spanish. As a branch of the liberal arts curriculum, one of the funda- mental aims of language study is to broaden and deepen the students acquaintance with the world about him through the medium of language and literature. Facilities at ECC include a modern laboratory with thirty listening and fifteen re- cording stations. The student who offers two high school units of a foreign language may register for the first semester of the intermediate course if he scores satisfactorily on a placement test at the time of registration.
