Foreign Languages The department is divided into two fields, classical and modern foreign languages. The primary goal of the classical languages is the teaching of the Greek and Latin. Other goals are to get an understanding of the language as such and its relation to the English language as well as an accurate image of classical civiliza- tion. Through the teaching of modern foreign languages, the department alms to develop in the students the ability to converse in the modern language and the facility to read the language studied so that the student will be encouraged to con- tinue study in that language in later life. The department also seeks to develop a knowledge of literature, history, culture and psychology of the people whose language is studied. History The Department of History offers survey, theme, regional, and special courses de- signed to reveal patterns of change and con- tinuity in human thought, values, and institu tions. To study the past is better to under- stand the present and to anticipate the future. The Department helps students cultivate skills in perceptive reading, clear writing, sound research, and critical think- ing. Such skills are valuable assets in con- temporary society, especially for students Whose career interests embrace law, management, communications, education, or government work. SITTING: E. Duran, Z.
