Beginning in his firsT year, The English major is exposed To an overall view of liTeraTure which, in Time, is narrowed To The specific: sTudies in poeTry, The modern novel, The drama, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton and The selecTed sTudy , which is an inTense endeavor in any area of liTeraTure. The faculTy, wiTh The eFForTs of The LiTerary Club and oTher groups, has presenTed many lecTures, panel discussions, and guesT speakers To The sTUdenT body. Two highlighTs of The year were lecTures given by Madison's Dr. Irving H. Buchen and Mr. T. J. Ross, who spoke on D. H. Lawrence and J. D. Salinger, respecTively.
