The English department forged ahead again this year with the introduction of new courses designed to meet the needs of all interests and all students. The Humanities program, a combination of several de- partments lArt, History, Music, and Englishj, was tremendously successful in providing interdicnrlinary studies. Marine Mythology, another course which refused to confne itseU to basic English, prompted students to seek the relationship between literature and the sea. The Writing Clinic, a course designed to assist students with individual problems in com- position, was introduced. With the introduction of these three, the course offerings for the English department expanded to thirty-two. Besides offering many courses, the English Depart- ment offered a variety of teaching methods. For some there were team teachers. For others their were learning packets, and still for others there were seminars, contracts, and individidualized instruction. Change for the better became the catch phrase that was followed. And the department continued to move ahead with the students.
