THE Department of Foreign Languages at Fresno State College stands as a reminder of the truth that human achievement is broader than the English- speahing nations. l-le who really learns a new language, it has been said, acquires a new soul. H modern language mahes an ideal intellectual hobby, for you can- Guy B. Colburn not exhaust its resources. H national literature is a living growth, and if the student who has been introduced to it in college will continue his reading he will discover countless interesting stimulating ideas. A A A A A A A Allle believe that it is a mistalze for the student to get a smattering of many languages. Having selected one, or at the most two, he should plan to continue its study throughout two or more years of the college course. ln the lower division courses he has an opportunity to attain proficiency in the practical arts of reading, writing, and spealz- ing a foreign language. For this he needs a good memory, and above all the ability to be accurate in details. The upper-division courses provide surveys of literature, talzing up the foreign authors who, in the successive centuries, have made important contributions, and laying special emphasis on the great boobs of modern times. Sufficient worlz is offered in advanced courses, not only in literature but in composition and conversation, to enable those who select a major in this field to continue their worh in the graduate school of a university. A A A A A A A AHt present Fresno State is the only one of the teachers' colleges of California where courses are offered in Latin. we also have a class in Greelz and Roman Literature studied in English translation. This is valuable for general culture, and furnishes a baclzground for the understanding of many an allusion and echo in English literature. A Alhe students have organized a French Club, a German Club, and a Spanish Club. A A A A A A A A A Alt may be appropriate to call the attention of all students to some splendid foreign periodicals which the depart- ment provides for the general reading room of the library. For instance loolz through the colorful pages of some recent number of the lllustration, that comes to us direct from Paris. You will understand the pictures, getting a glimpse of public events, of sports, and of society and fashions over there.
