THOMAS E. AUGE, Ph.D. Professor Chairman On the office door of Dr. Thomas Auge, the chair¬ man of the History Department, is a sign which reads: “It takes love to be a good teacher!” This “love” and concern for the students has been part of the fine Loras History Department for some time now. The Department is very active in the Tri-College Co-opera¬ tive Effort, and a considerable number of professor ex¬ changes and cross registration have taken place. This year there are two new Department members: Mr. R. Daniels, who is teaching Russian History while working on his Ph.D. Fr. J. Simon from Divine Word Seminary, is teaching Black Cultural History. Also this year, the Department began offering a remedial course in Freshman History for Freshmen who need the extra bits of help. The Department makes a great contribu¬ tion to Loras by continuing to add new historical works to the library. The whole attitude of the Loras History Department was typified by Dr. Auge, who, when asked if he had any special comments about the Department said, “The students are marvelous!” 26 RICHARD G .

CHRISTOPHER P. LONGCORE, M.A. Instructor AUGUSTIN K. I MAG AW A, M.A Pt.-time Instructor This course, being offered for the first time this year, has opened a new dimension to the department by emphasizing Western man’s indebtedness to Eastern culture. Another newcomer to the Loras campus, Miss Jean M. Patterson, has offered a course in Black Literature. This course, like the Japanese American course, has opened new vistas (no pun intended) to students by allowing them to witness the arts coming from all but overlooked parts of our society. The course in Twentieth Century British and Amer¬ ican Literature has been expanded to a four semester course divided by genres instead of chronologically. The course will take up the poem and fiction in one year and the drama and a seminar about the century as a whole during the second year. This year marks the final year in which seniors are required to fulfill their English major with a thesis. Oral comprehensives will be initiated in their stead in the coming year. THOMAS G.
