Schlickers withdrawal from the school in 1918, Prof. Weng became the head of the department. The department of Romance Languages and Literature was organized in the fall of 1917, When Harry Vincent Wann, formerly instructor in French at the University of Michigan, was elected as head of the department, with Rose Marian Cox as assistant. Prior to this, Miss COX had devoted her attention to German. She recently augmented her preparation by a trip abroad, studying at Paris and Madrid. The popularity of the Language department is shown by the fact that at the beginning of the present school year two hundred students out of the enrollment of six hundred were taking advantage of the splendid course of study offered.
