ANN nicht verstand-perhaps-we hope so-pero-after all it's non importa-that is to understand-but it is important to be familiar with some language-let it be African, Italian, Deutch, Francais, Espanol, Yiddish, Greek, or even a smattering of English-. Illud non est ein Taubstummenanstalt-mais the maestro in the Foreign Language Department are often convinced questra e-the proverbial freshman-101-labelled in the catalog as an introductory course-. Some, however, are not too anxious to be intro- duced-ils sont les amis avec la langue-until the grades come in-then they are sometimes not quite so amicable-. A To the Departments of French, Latin, and Spanish has been added that of German. This is a notable acquisition on the part of the Foreign Language Department since it affords the student a wider range to choose from and offers pre-med and scientific training for those who desire it-. The other divisions-Spanish, Latin, and French, are also invaluable in their relation to the other departments of the college. They train students in the perception and better understanding of the English language, and in a more sympathetic conception of the people these languages represent. I 1gc 28

It is a long step. No doubt many can tell you-and how long-Freshman English-the proverbial bugbear-but still they get the little old sheep-skin just as regularly every year. The Cross test-the first obstacle, then grammar-infinitives-participles-verbs- gerunds-reflexives-the mazes and labyrinths of structure--THEMES-and more tests -101 is over-for better or for QFD--everything set for the second term-to the fresh- man is exposed the dark and deep secrets of debating and argumentation. He becomes acquainted with the principles that are used Where literature is recognized as such-and IF he passes, comes the third and last term- The Return of the Native. A little later-a touch of Shakespeare here and there-King Lear for instance-by way of introduction to this master-finals again-103 is a memory-sweet or maybe not so succulent. The second year sophomore English looms on the horizon-this problem of becoming better acquainted vyith the mother tongue is becoming more interesting-perhaps there is something to English after all. The Work begins-Chaucer-he is accepted as a begin- ning. Then follow authors in endless succession-Caedmon-Mallory-Cynewulf-- Shakespeare-Milton-then 202-Dryden-Swift-Defoe-Johnson-Keats-Byron- Shelley-right on through 203 with-Arnold-Browning-Noyes-Bridges-Kipling-- and a hundred others. English takes on a greater significance-the student decides to look a little deeper. He is free now to choose his field-there is critical English-affording a means of apprecia- tion-and creative English-affording an outlet for personal creations-it is all a rather pleasant process-filled at times with difficulities-yet permeated with friendly feelings -and with accomplishments.
