Language New York is a melting pot of people of many na- tionalities, each with his own country and native tongue. In man's quest for a fuller life and more thorough understanding of his fellow man, languages play an integral role. Here, at Memorial in teaching German, French, Latin and Spanish, the language de- partment acauaints students not only with basic g'am- mar and vocabulary, but also with customs and teachings of the people who speak these languages. f
