Graduate work, University of Washington. English Department AN ESSENTIAL phase of a liberal arts training is that provided by the English Department. From the technique and principles of composition of the freshman year to the seminar classes of the senior year, the English student has repeated opportunities to become acquainted with interesting characters and epochs of the past out of which grow ourpresent customs, institutions, and ideals. The study of literature contributes to an appreciation of the lives and modes of other ages, and, as a result, an intelligent comparison with our own. The department endeavors to send out men and women with a thorough knowledge of rhetorical technique, a sound literary philosophy, and a talent for interpreting ancient and contemporary literature. Instructors of the English Department believe it their privilege to educate the student to live a life more than to make a living for life: they believe the goods of the mind outweigh the goods of the body. This year the English Department has been especially well represented on the library shelves in reference and source works. A greatly enriched curricula has necessitated the increased number of books and helps. . 1171- i If ff,

THE School also conducts a Ministerial Seminar with its work which makes provision for practical Work in the field for its students. Seminar activities include conducting weekly services in neighboring churches, the conduct of evangelistic efforts, and cottage meetings in the surrounding communities- This gives the students opportunity to meet practical field problems and questions and t0 solve them with the aid and counselling of their instructors. In the fall of 1933 a society called the Paulist Sodality was organized to promote a fraternal and social spirit among the young men who have devoted their lives to the calling of the ministry and to upholding before them the ideal of that callingf, During the school year 1934-35 the 48 members of the School of Theology have been active in acting as pastors of surrounding churches and in conducting both public and private meetings, thus fulfilling the aims of the School and preparing themselves for the purpose of brin in the l' h f h Son of God. 8 8 lg t 0 t e world to mankind and in pointing them to the -E
