ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The romance of words and ideas in literature and grammar is a disease that is happily caught each year. The rolling force of great speeches, the striking beauty of poetry, and the witty use of words in an essay are joys too great to be missed. English has so many facets and every one of them is so enjoyable that whether it is prose, poetry, or drama that a reader chooses, he will always come away satisfied. ELIZABETH A.

RUTH MORSE Mt. Holyoke College; A.B. Latin II, III, IV LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The language department has a view on the world. The study of languages reveals to the student new areas of past and contemporary culture and brings about a closer rapport with other peoples, a pressing need in today’s interdependent world. As he progresses in this study, he comes to see what a precious cultural heritage is his own native tongue, and, to understand better the building blocks of his own language. Aside from all utilitarian considerations . . . college admissions requirements, future vocation, foreign travel, etc. ... the acquisition of language skills is an enjoyable and rewarding experience for those who will put forth the effort. Suffield offers a solid background in three languages. One may take four years of French, Latin, or Spanish. In his sophomore year he may add a second language and carry it through for three years. As we develop our program, we hope to prepare our students to face today’s complex world as well-rounded citizens. MARY C.
