This promotes better world rela- tions and increases the curiosity among the students to broaden their understand- ing of other cultures. With the cultivation and comprehension of French, German, and Spanish, the students complete the circle of understanding between foreign peoples. Because of rapidly growing trends, the world is becoming smaller, and the Foreign Language Department endeav- ors to acquaint the students not only with these languages, but also with the cus- toms, cultures, and history of the various countries. With a basic understanding of English as well as French, German, or Spanish, a student can compare several situations and gain a practical knowledge of a particular country's philosophy. Through the studying of all languages, pat- terns are set which break through and build bridges toward greater world unity. ov, ' I 'XE 2 4' ' as-. .,,,,ut ' .,- . , - I . .c ff 4- ,,, .c... . k 1 1 f .5 .
