What do you know!! . . . Es ist nicht kuput!” Diversity of Dialects Communication is a vital part of the twentieth century and a lack of understanding among the peoples of the world may lead to destruction rather than the desired universal peace. To promote a further knowledge of our fellow men, the Language Department offers the study of French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish. Beginning with vocabulary and grammar, a four year language program progresses to reading and intellectual discussions conducted in the specific language. Through a well equipped language lab, foreign newspapers, interesting field trips, and informative displays the student has an opportunity to gain a working knowledge of almost every phase of the language, the nature of the people, and the land, including everything from Renaissance literature to contemporary government and foreign affairs.
