English Department Instills Appreciation of Literature Emphasizing creativity while instilling in students an appreciation of great literature of the world, the Department of English has three major pur- poses: to give all students proficiency in the writing of clear and correct English; to give to all who wish to pursue electives in this department a deep under- standing and appreciation of selected authors and periods of literature,- and to provide, for those who wish to teach or to enter graduate school, adequate preparation and a thorough background for specializ- ed study. In addition, the English Department had this year an added intellectual outlet. Miss Eudora Welty, the first lady of contemporary American letters, agreed to accept the first Writer-in-Residence posi- tion at Millsaps for the 1964-1965 session. Miss Welty conducted a semi-weekly seminar on the art of fiction. She also presented one lecture-reading per term, which was open to the public. At her winter lecture she spoke on The Southern Writer Today before a near-capacity crowd at the Christian center.
