What good will Latin ever do me?l' This is the question that is inevitably on the mind of the fresh- man who is grinding his way through the five declensions. Unfortunately, it cannot be fully an- swered for him until his sophomore or junior year, when he becomes aware of his increased mastery of the English Language and the ease with which he can grasp the basics of another alien mode of speech. The value of gaining fluency in a foreign tongue cannot be over-estimated, for in addition to the obvious benefit of increasing the individuals ability to communicate, studying the language of a Foreign land also acquaints the student with the culture of that particular nation. A person docs not merely study the German Languagel' but rather he studies German!'. The Classical and Modern Language Depart- ments at Bonner team up with a common goal in mind: to broaden the students understanding of Latin, German, French and Spanish languages and cultures.
