It's An Asset Plbility to use good English is essential in every line of work. Through its various classes, formal and informal, with subjects from crea- tive writing to interpretation of news in peri- odicals, the English department develops this ability and widens the students outlook. ln time of war this department's work is doubly important. Plmericans become familiar with the ideals and customs of our trans-Htlantic ally. ln Eng- lish literature classes by reading the works of British authors in the early days of the Em- pire students find it easier to understand her actions today. ln creative writing classes budding authors flower and fade as they write and criticize their own work. The ones interested in verse study meter and form. The art of argumentation and debate is the subject of other English classes. Qdvanced students enter competition with other schools. Questions of public interest are made the sub- ject of series of debates for which students amass a great deal of information. ln times when right of free speech is threat- ened or curtailed in other countries we find ourselves very grateful for it and for all the classes that help young men and women to understand the best in our literary heritage, to think clearly on diverse subjects, and to dis- cuss matters with their fellows without sur- veillance.
