Instruction in the English department consists of helping students develop skills in writing and speaking effectively, and in reading and evaluating liter- ature appreciatively. A wide range of courses appealing to the aes- thetic as well as to the practical nature of nnan is offered regularly, serving the dual purpose of qualify- ing prospective teachers of English and stimulating all students to search more diligently for the riches in the spoken and written word. Courses in journalism and various kinds of writing are also offered. Mrs. Marilyn Smothers, Instructor of English. Dr. Henry Evans, Professor of English.

To equip the student to develop a question- ing outlook toward life, to encour- age the mastery of those princi- ples of correct thought which en- able such inquiry, and to introduce the student to some of the con- cepts of the great thinkers of history are the aims of the Philos- ophy Department. Closely related are the purposes of the Depart- ment of Religion. The Department tries to provide every student with a deeper understanding and appre- ciation for the basic principles of the Bible as they appear in their historical setting and to acquaint the student with the merits, values, and distinctive contributions of the Christian religious experience of mankind. The Modern Language Depart- ment of the University strives to give students a more enlightened Americanism through an apprecia- tion of the foreign origin of a sig- nificant part of our natural culture. It provides an effective substitute for travel as well as increasing one ' s capacity for appreciating for- eign culture. Students receive also a conversant knowledge of French and Spanish.
