and alwlla Because St. Joseph's is dedicated to the aim of preparing leaders for the world of affairs, it is a liberal arts college in which arts and letters are stressed. In the English department, the study of American and English liter- ature holds a prominent place. So do the major plays of Shakespeare. Courses in these subjects, augmented by more courses in particular periods and types of literature, are climaxed by a study of literary criticism. Despite the fact that the classical languages, Greek and Latin, are some- times frowned upon by students and even ridiculed by some modern edu- cators, the college offers courses in these classics. They are the founda- tion of much modern culture, and wrestling with Greek and Latin is an excellent mental training. Modern languages, too, hold their proper place in the curriculum. Not only are French, German, and Spanish cultural, they are practical. Distinctly useful is the study of journalism. Be he a professional man, a research scientist, or a laboratory technician, the student of today who would fulfill his duty to society tomorrow must be able to express himself forcefully in print. He must be able to express himself on the public ros- trum also, and for that reason the arts and letters program at St. J oseph's offers training in public speaking and oratory. THE REV. RUFUS ESSER, Chairman Ordained in 1925, the Rev. Rufus H. Esser since that time has been a member of the faculty of St. Joseph's. For one year 119373 he was presidentg today he is an active member of various commit- tees. Abounding in qualifications as a man of fine taste, appreciation, and foresight, Father Esser is well-chosen for Chairman of the English T Department. Page rninctecn
