speaks God . . . HESIOD KNOWLEDGE is NOT the prerogative ot one race or class ot people. All wise men have realized this truth. Hence, the student does not limit herself to the accruements of learn- ing in her own people. Much ot the world's culture, standing as so many points on the periphery ot a circle, may be assimilated by mastery of language, a conioining radius. Through a maior or a minor concentration, the Immaculatan enioys an intimacy with the wisdom of many civilizations. Fundamentals mastered, there opens a direct contact with the literature, the philosophy, and the art ot Europe. Herein lies the essential spirit of the people, herein are uncovered the universal patterns present in drama, prose, and poetry -proof that men are one in spirit, though multiple in forms of expression. The study of languages, more than any other division of learning, reveals that ln man speaks God.

In man, LANGUAGE, THE MEANS OF communication among living beings and the key to communi- cation with the past, is a potent force in social life, making all peoples, areas, and communi- ties more than iust isolated individuals, it un- locks the treasure chest containing civilizations and cultures of ancient times. The study of classical Greek and Latin discloses the history, philosophy, and literature of the past-a time which will endure by reason of the unsur- passed genius of speculative theories and practical accomplishments. The influence of Plato, Aristotle, Phidias, Menander, Plautus, Cicero, Virgil, Seneca, and others is a living force in all phases of modern culture. It is primarily through a study of these languages that scholars have been able to reconstruct the past, giving to men of all times a background and a connective link to be used in explaining the present and in anticipating the future.
