The ability to communicate via the written and spoken word is a requirement for meaningful existence in our modem world. As our society becomes increasingly computerized, we are some- times lost in the hubbub of activity. Self-expres- sion becomes rare, sensitivities are diminished, and values change. The English Department aids in the development of a complete individual. The student is involved in a progressive pro- gram in which he is exposed to the literature of the past and present. As his exposure or educa- tional experience increases, his character and personality grow. The student learns to com- municate his own ideas and emotions through effective and efficient writing and speaking. Interpretive reading and attentive listening en- able the student to absorb and analyze the ideas of others. MICHAEL GERALD STEFANSKI Rutgers University, M.Ed. PATRICK R.

ROBERT A. REZAC Seton Hall University, M.A. FOREIGN LANGUAGE Although the world is constantly shrinking, lingual and social barriers are expanding. Knowledge of a foreign language is a social and personal asset. The ability to converse fluently in a foreign language and to appreciate another country’s culture is characteristic of a broadminded person. Our French, German, and Spanish courses have been extended to four year programs, thus making possible a more thorough study of the language. Latin, from which many languages are descended, is offered on a two year basis. All courses begin with the audio-lingual approach and culminate in the translation of the literature. At this point the student attains an understanding of other people, thereby a better understanding of himself. GENEVIEVE AVERY Duke University, M.A. Department Chairman WALTER M.
