Deviating from the old form of reading and writing, the program of the English Department has taken on a new per- spective, and become a study in life values. Under the leadership of Mr. Mur- ray G. Hill, the courses presented include literature, writing, oral expression, and the humanities survey course. An inno- vation this year is the course in radio production, which has proved most pop- ular. A branch, the accomplishments of which the department is very proud, is the publications division. This group is active the entire year in the production of the three representative publications: the Chronicle, weekly newspaper; Vo- Mag, vocational magazine, and Campus. H U M fl 16

Supplementing a course of study which includes learning a foreign language with trips and programs at various places such as Padua Hills, the Lang- uage Department combines real study with additional work in the form of sub-courses on customs and traditions, geography, and history of the country whose language they are studying. Presentation of the language through the medium of still and motion pictures, re- corded music, and lectures by travelers, aids the student in obtaining a much clearer conception of its uses. Commun- ity sings in the foreign language, as well as informal evening meetings, are also part of the department ' s activities. T I S 15
