FOREIGN LANGUAGES While all that some students learn to say in a foreign language is Parlez-vous Fran- cais? or Chevrolet Coupe or Du bist an Schtinkatz, the students of these teach- ers learn the rudiments of their particular chosen language, gain a knowledge of the country and its customs, and acquire through the study of another culture a wider understanding and a deeper appre- ciation of their own mode of living and speaking. A large variety of courses is offered in each of these languages: Chinese, French, Ger- man, Greek ( Classic ) , Greek ( New Testa- ment) , Japanese, Latin, Russian, and Span- ish. There are ample opportunities to major in any of these languages, and spe- cial linguistic courses are offered for foreign language majors. Each of the instructors has studied or trav- eled in another country, thus bringing more directly to bear upon his classes the influence of another land. Miss Dauer studied at Elberfield, Germany, and Paris, France, and Dr. Patterson visited exten- sively in France. Dr. Frederick Lenz did a great part of his work at Berlin, while Dr. Mali Lenz studied in Lausanne, Switzerland, Berlin, Marburg, and Hamburg, Germany. Although Mr. McCoy has not studied in Mexico, he has absorbed so much atmos- phere from our neighbor because of fre- quent visits that one would suspect he had lived there all his life. In the manner of travelogues we would say, As the sun sinks slowly in the west, we bid farewell to the pagodas of China, the tall Eiffel spires of France, the watch- towers of Germany, the stately Doric col- umns of Greece, the mirrored bridges of Japan, St. Peter ' s square in Rome, the Kremlin in Moscow, and the soft stucco palaces of Spain and Mexico. And in the time-honored phrase of so many romantic procrastinators, we shall say, Manana! DOROTHEA W. DAUER ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES FREDERICK W.

OF STRINGS MUSIC RALPH W. JONES DIRECTOR OF THE BAND AND ORCHESTRA; AS- SOCIATE PROFESSOR AND ACTING HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF WOODWIND, BRASS, AND PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS What can give so much joy to the aching human heart as music? The fine arts students must find satisfaction for their souls to spend so much time on their work. And surely the reward is great for all music students to achieve their ut- most accomplishment in their chos- en field, whether it be in piano, organ, voice, or brass and wind in- struments. The student body is fortunate also, in that they may enjoy the fruits of the labor that goes on unendingly in the long white frame building near the president ' s house. Mr. Comctn instructs a music his- tory class in the nomenclature of ancient instruments. SPEECH AND DRAMA The Department of Speech and Drama has grown considerably under the able direction of Mr. Springer. This past year several outstanding plays have been given and the speech team, headed by Mr. Raines, has brought home several trophies. 54. JL HENRY EDWIN MEYER WENDELL L.
