DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Ti HE English DeiJartinent at VMI lias carefully laitl out a four-year course of study in which the student is able to familiarize himself with the greatest literature of all time from the formation of folk myth and basic Yestern philosophy to the erudite poetry of T. S. Kliot and the stream of consciousness novels of James Joyce. The effect of this is to produce a more aware and thoughtful individual who is ])repareil to enter almost any field. In this day of specialization, such a course is .somewhat of an anachronism becau.se it produces well rounded men along classical educational lines instead of a one-sided personality. It is for this reason that the graduates have had such an outstanding record in the best graduate schools in the country. COLOXEL DlLLAKD Head, Department of Eiujlish Seated: Maj. Byers, Col.
