Several things strengthened the department. Mr. John Scholl, ’60, joined the faculty to teach junior and senior English courses. At the same time, all junior English courses focused on paralleling the course in American History by emphasizing American literature. In addition, Mr. James Hopkins re-established the Advanced Placement English course. The Advanced Placement English course was an emphasis on accelerated study of literature. Its aim was to enable the advanced English student to forego the usual freshman rhetoric courses required at many colleges.

Both were dedicated to helping underclassmen realize written English as their primary means of communication.
