Language Studies Encourage SpiritOf World-wide Interest The most distant country has become a next-door neigh- bor in this era of jets and rapid communication. With such propinquity, the study of foreign languages has reached new heights in importance. At Millsaps each student is required to take two years of a foreign or an ancient language. Courses are offered in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, and Greek. The ideas and culture of Greece and Rome live on today in their contributions to the culture of western civiliza- tion. The study of Greek and Latin, languages which com- pose so much of all other languages, affords a rigorous exercise in the scientific method, producing habits and re- flexes of accuracy, efficiency, and system. The German and Romance Language Departments have been set up to give those students taking their language requirement a firm basis in grammar and an introduction to the literature of this language. For majors in either of the departments, courses have been designed to give the student a broad and basic conception of the great literature and history typical to the language. The language depart- ment has attained vitality with the addition of electronic equipment. Now in operation for the fifth year, the equip- ment consists of a master control unit and recorders, micro- phones, and earph ones in separate acoustical-tiled booths. Students are required to meet language lab at least one hour each week in addition to class time. The equipment enables the student to hear recordings in the language he is studying. With the basic study of pronunciation and vocabulary becoming a matter for individual study and for laboratory drill sessions, classroom time is left free for concentration on structure and grammar.
