F GERHARD T. ALEXIS, PH.D. Professor of English, Department Head The English and Area Studies Departments are located in Vickner Language Hall 5 every Gustavus student must pass through its doors before completing his college career. Un- der the new English curriculum, each freshman is required to take three courses-one in language and composition, and two in English literature. Other courses offered include surveys of great men in lit- erature such as Shakespeare, Milton, and Chaucer, novel courses, creative writing, and period poetry courses. English professors and majors have participated in the An- nual Minnesota Conference for English Majors. The topic of discussion for this year's meeting was Joseph Conrad. Gustavus was represented by several who presented papers and discussions before the conference. The area studies courses on American culture offer students the opportunity to look at America-past and present- from the point of view of its literature, history, philosophy, music, and art. Through both the English and Area Studies Departments, Gustavus seeks to provide its students with a true liberal arts education. Student-faculty discussions, such as this one on Victorian poetry, provide students with opportunity to assume a more active role in their English education. ,. 1
