RAY W, HAZLETT, A.M. Division Chairman JOSEPHINE RICKARD, Ph.D. J AMES HARR, A.B. 241 DIVISION UF Theoretically the English department is just a division of the Liberal Arts program. Actually it seems to be a handicap to the student fulfilling requirements, but to the major student it presents a challenge which seems, to him, greater than that of any other department. The practical side of English is stressed in Houghton. The Speech department places emphasis on proper oral presentation, the English department has as its aims the use of fundamental processes in creative Writing, and a more than impressionistic appreciation of literature as a Whole. For the major student in English, a vital appreciation of literature is emphasized concomitantly with the attain- ment of a growing knowledge of the mechanics and basic fundamentals of creative production. The four divisions, Prose, Poetry, Drama, and Prose Fiction, are correlated so that the courses cohere and become a Well integrated whole. Voluminous reading is required as background material for all work undertaken in these courses. Class That looks like a choice quote, Charlie.
