Further examination of the course system put into effect two years ago and creating a brochure for incoming majors kept the English department busy this year. Midland has a “highly approved major with great diversity, Dr. Herman Gimmestad said and has been approved by the North Central Association, the college's accrediting agency. About 50 majors constitute the de- partment, part of whom will enter the teaching field. The English brochure will include fa- mous graduates, careers in English, biographies of the faculty, recom- mended classics and periodicals to be read and the English curriculum.
