Learning the language of a Frenchman, Spaniard, or German is the first step toward understanding his culture, political institutions, and ideals. With the knowledge of foreign languages, one may discover the wealth of world literature with every idea expressed exactly as the author in- tended. The study of the classical languages of Latin and Greek are recom- mended for the students majoring in either English or a foreign language, because so many of our modern languages are based on words of Greek or Latin origin. These two languages are also a part of the education of the pre- ministerial student who finds that through them he may read the original words of many of the writers of the New Testament. The study of language is an integral part of a liberal arts education, broadening the horizons of a student to include an entire world.
