LANGUAGE was related to culture as Baroness Van Boecop paints word pictures for students Towne Windom and Fran Fancher. languages The Language Department, under the chairmanship of Baroness Van Boecop, was composed of the Spanish, French and German divisions. The student of languages was not only taught the conventional book-learning of the tongue but also the culture and way of life of the nation whose language he is studying. Incorporated within the department were the various language clubs for students who had a working knowledge of their selected language. These clubs strived to promote, through the use of panel discussions and films, a better understanding of people in other lands. The French division annually sponsors the Le Comte De Nouy Essay Contest which is open to all students who vie for a $100 award for the outstanding essay. MRS. EMILIA KNIGHT DR. AINSLIE MINOR 29 MRS.
