h Department of English The English Department welcomed in the class of ' 61 with the usual deluge of themes, reading assignments, discussions, and speeches. This resulted in many research papers being finished with a sigh just as the reveille cannon sounded. Nevertheless we managed to master the King ' s English, even if it did mean going up and down the section ladder at each resectioning. Yearling year found us being pursued by the classics: Homer, Euri- pedes, and Dante — to name a few. Then there were the lectures by Colonel Alspach on the subject of Shake- speare, to instill knowledge in the unsuspecting troops. We received our liberal arts education from the Depart- ment with all the trimmings. First Class year found us being influenced by the many essayists whose articles were in The Pursuit of Learning. Even though the De- partment lost out by a small margin in the race for the Tenth Taker ' s Trophy, we gained many things of value through the instructors of the English Department.
