DEPARTMENTS Foreign Language The courses in the Foreign Language De yartment are Jlannecl to develon in l l . the student a tolerant attitude toward people of other nations, greater facility in English expression, and the ability to read the language, Une of the major objectives is to instill a knowledge of the people whose language is studied. This knowledge includes the geography of the country and its history and literature. The German classes make a study of German musicians and scien- tists. ln Spanish classes, Spanish artists are studied. A second aim is to create in students an awakened interest in other races in order to develop a broader viewpoint. The people of the foreign country are studied through their own literature rather than through what other people write or say concerning them. The classes sing songs in thc language and present plays and skits. Correspondence is carried on With students of foreign countries. Reading ability is developed by reading. Another objective is to increase appre- ciation of English, explain its derivation, and make clear its close relation to other languages. In the department four years of Latin are offered, three of French and Spanish. and two of German. One of Many. tory and literature.
