Foreign Languages Broaden Cultural Interests Foreign languages bring about an appreciation of the culture of foreign countries and their contributions down through the ages. The aim of the foreign language classes is to encourage travel and to give students enough of a command of a foreign language to be able to get along when traveling in that country. The ability to speak a foreign language well brings a certain pleasure and, according to Miss Lela Roach, head of the Foreign language Department, is a mark of cultivation and widened intellectual interests.'
