Simple beauty and profeund truth are communicated through the medium of the written word in literature courses. Students are introduced to creative minds both of preceding and contem- porary times, and they are encouraged to de- velop their literary potentials and skills. Proper grammar is essential to effective com- munication. In composition courses students master basic grammatical skills and acquire competence in research methods. Apprecia- tion of literature and expression of ideas by each student is the aim of the faculty. A Cynthia C. Dilgard, M.A. Constance M. Fulmer, M.A. Samuel C. Gant, M.A. Instructor Instructor 29

MUSIC The harmony of creation is hinted at in a well-written symphony. Twelve distinct tones blend into one symphony, and the wonder of music unfolds. This universal language speaks to the mind and to the spirit in a way which inspires and enriches both. The members of the Department of Music are concerned with encouraging the students to appreciate great musical achievements of the past and present and to develop their artistic abilities in vocal and instrumental expression. Through private lessons, classroom instruction, and individual and group performances students are encour- aged to develop their individual potentials. a Elaine Patton realizes that excellence requires much practice.

LANGUAGES In the cosmopolitan world of today inter- national communication is becoming increas- ingly necessary. The goal of the Language De- partment is to help the student to gain an un- derstanding of the respective language and of the people and customs of times ancient and present. In the study of modern languages emphasis is put upon the importance of proper pronunciation, reading comprehension, and a knowledge of the literature and history of the people. Greek and Hebrew are studied so that the student may secure a working knowledge of the language, its grammatical principles, and its relevance to Bible study. Bill Goodin uses the facilities of the mod- ern lab to increase his fluency in German. Rodney E. Cloud, M.A. B.
