Division of the Humanities The Humanities Division of the Col- lege has long enjoyed a reputation for excellence. While there Were no expan- sions of faculty or facilities, the Division made the adjustment to our new location Without major difficulties. The Department of Modern Languages accelerated its classroom program to place greater emphasis on verbal ability. The language lab, which had lain fallow most of the first term of our occupation of Brooklyn Heights, found an over-abund- ance of students at its consoles this year. The Speech Department continued to Wage its vvar against the crudities of Brooklynese, and in addition, hosted a High School Speech and Drama Festival. i f 3 5 r je 4 BROTHER CAMILLUS CASEY, 0.s.F.
