Students of Spanish, German, and French first listened to the tapes, then imitated the accents, and finally learned to write what they heard. The Spanish Department had a unique situation with nearly twenty Latin-American students enrolled in the third and fourth year courses, enabling the classes to be held entirely in Spanish and teaching the Amer- ican students colloquial vocabulary. Latin was not conversational, and through the traditional method, second, third, and fourth year students studied Cae- sar's Gallic Campaigns, Cicero, and Vergil. MRS.

Pan American history, a semester course, included the sociological, political, and economic development ofthe South Amer- ican countries.
