Utlfbglftdggd As the world shrinks with the invention of atomic energy, and the life of one country is integrated into that of another, an ignorance of languages has be- come impossible. With this fact in mind, the language departments have emphasized the need of linguistic knowledge in a modern world where artificial barriers must be overcome. The size of the classes as well as the introduction into the curricula of a course in Italian and one in Greek testify to the effectiveness of this emphasis. lt is not unusual to hear the question, Comment allez-vous? answered by an equally pertinent, Muy bien, gracias. Y usted? The professors encourage this vitalization of the courses, and, infact, it becomes a necessary evil in Professor l-luser's French classes for he rarely speaks English, while in Chad Dunham'S German classes one must recognize himself as an Herr or a Fraulein. Grammar, the language horror, is taught by practical use of the language, such as the South American displays in Professor Boring's Spanish classes. Not only is it the aim of the department to offer the basic courses in languages, but to create a defi- nite urge for the pursuit of studies in more advanced work. No one may deny that deep inspiration can be found in the classical writings of the French, German, Spanish, or Greek authors. Through languages, the student is afforded the opportunity to learn and understand the habits and customs prevalent in other lands. With such a prominent background, the lan- guage student can not help facing the future with a broader view toward the people of other lands. Professors Boring, Huser, Dunham, Hahn, and Avery search for Esparanto.
