As sophomores the students are introduced to various fields of literature through a series of lectures. A1- though the sophomores are not eligible for honor courses, they are placed in cali- brated classes on recommendations from their junior high school teachers. juniors and seniors are eligible for honor courses in English, the purpose of which is to encourage outstanding talent in journalism, oratory, and creative writing. .

The reading of newspapers, magazines, and oral and written compo- -4ffh1'f S- Hancock sitions based on pamphlets released by various federal D agencies, all emphasized the significance of the move- ment to defend and preserve Democracy. By following such a program the English Depart- ment fostered those language talents which, in a world of swiftly changing ideals and institutions, will play so important a role.
