One of the largest departments at Evansville College, it hums with activity as executives-to-be tackle problems of high finance; meanwhile, their future secre- taries literally prepare to take dictation. One of every four students that you meet on the campus is a business major. Collegians find adventure in — of all places — the English department. The excitement of being in a play, putting out a newspaper and taking part in speech contests and debates explains why English courses are definitely not limited to bookworms or themes.
