Knowing that words wisely chosen can touch the hearts and sway the actions of men, students of Knglish work to understand the meaning and to feel the power of words. The students gain a real appreciation of fine literature, and an understanding of the fundamentals of grammar. They learn to make their writing concise, vigorous and colorful. Through the study of literature the student acquires an insight into human nature and by studying Shakespeare, Chaucer and other masters, he learns the variety of man's thinking and ways of living.
