No one subject taught today is more important than En- glish. Without this study of our native language, communi- cation would be next to impossible, and the possibility of our having such a highly developed, intellectual society would be quite improbable. We should, therefore, take this language study seriously, ranking it with the sciences and arts of which we think so highly. Through the study of World literature, American litera- ture and English literature, students gain a deeper under- standing of world culture and an insight into some of the world's greatest minds. Grammar study makes it possible for the student of the language to apply this knowledge to everyday communication. In our minds a better under- standing of the English language produces a better student and a more capable citizen.

Knowledge of a foreign language is essential in this day when, thanks to scientific and industrial development, the world seems to have shmnk in size. In all our daily relations with peoples from other countries, it would be a great hindrance to have language as a barrier. Students at Red Lion are offered three languages, French, German, and Latin, in four-year programs. These programs are designed to instruct the students in the oral and written fundamentals of the language. In doing so, the students become acquainted with the living country. They also become more aware of the culture and customs of the people, and the land in which these people live comes geographically alive.
