The department of Humanities encompasses the fields of music, flne arts, English, modern lan- guages, Classics, religion, and philosophy. All the courses have a common objective: to impart to each student a greater appreciation and under- standing of the beauty and aesthetic value to be found in each work of art, be it musical, literary or artistic. Doors are opened through these various mediums Which lead to ways of enriching and invigorating the individualas personal experiences.

The opportu- nity to use newly acquired knowledge is omni- present in the fast-paced community which sur- rounds Coucher.
