Romance Languages Ten full-time teachers are employed in the department of Romance Languages and there is a ten per cent increase in the enrollment of students every year. The demand for well- prepared teachers of French and Spanish ex- ceeds the supply. The educational and prac- tical value of the Romance Languages is very great. French books are read by large numbers in all the cultural centers of the World. The rapid and amazing development of Latin America offers splendid opportunities for technically trained men, who have a re- spectable knowledge of the Spanish language, which is acquiring extraordinary importance in all the schools of the United States. Practical courses in conversation, composition and pro- nunciation may be taken in the upper division. Advanced and Graduate work in the languages and literatures is open to qualified students. There are two classes in commercial Spanish and one course is devoted to Latin America. Portuguese, spoken in the vast territory of the Republic of Brazil, is becoming more and more indispensable. Students who have had three years of Spanish are given some work in this language. ltalian is studied for its litera- ture as well as for the beautiful language.

School of Architecture and Allied Arts Development of creative faculties is the aim of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Around its cloistered court in the far corner of the campus, across University Street from the new heating plant, is grouped its Depart- ments of Architecture, Fine Arts, and Normal Arts. The Department of Architecture conducts courses in principles of construction and de- sign, in the technique of pencil, pen and brush essential to accurate and effective presentation, with such courses in history and practice as may supply acquaintance with the best ex- amples of historic architecture, and a proper sense of the applicability of the precedents set therein to the design and purposes of modern buildings. The Department of Fine Arts has classes in all forms of delineation, including oil and water color painting, pastel, c1'ayon and char- coal drawing, as well as modeling in clay or plastolene, from life, cast, or natureg also, classes in decorative design, with advanced work in mural painting and stained glass. The Department of Normal Arts furnishes experience in designing and in processes of pro- duction of objects of the industrial arts, such as dress design, textile patterns and weaving, tile making and baslcetry, and the training of teachers for public school instruction in art.
