Regh, Mr. Kimmey ENGLISH Although handicapped by the loss of the Academic Building, the English Department has continued its energetic expansion. Adding new instructors and making a complete overhaul of the course, the English Department is one of the more progressive in the South. Col. Dixon ' s re- tirement after thirty-six years of service will he a loss, but with Col. Dillard ' s able direction the Department will continue to expand. The basic course in English taken during the Rat year is all many cadets get to know of the English Department. However the English majors rapidly begin to concentrate their studies during the third class year, and continue in basic litera- ture and cultural courses for the remainder of their cadetship. The new Liberal Arts Placement Service proved that the English majors could successfully compete for jobs. A salute to VMI ' s fastest grow- ing department. COL. RAYMOND DIXON
