Consequently, he is prepared to enter any occupation where a mastery of issues and affairs is required. By the same token, he has met the require- ments which will enable him to enter sradnate schools of law and business administration. ' I ' he understanding of dcvelopmcnis is stressed in the history curriculum rather than ])ure memori ation of facts. For this reason, the student is able to understand and ajijireciate the fields where human beings work together. CuLO.NEL FCLLEU Head, Department of History

Left In liiyhl DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES kjPANISII, French, Gel ' iiian, and elcuientary Hussian are the languages offered to cadets who are majoring in the liberal arts. Cadets in the History and English currieulums are required to take four years of the language of their choice while cadets in the Biology curriculum are rc(|uireil to take two years of language. Beginning with elements of basic grammar and speech, the cadets advance to an analysis of literary currents and movements in their particular language during their last two years. An under- standing of the peo])le and their country is thus developed and the liberal artist adds to his store of knowledge as well as forming a ] ractical background should he enter the field of international relations.
