ALBERT E. EGGE, Ph. D., ALLISON GAW, Ph. D., JESSE REESER. Ph. B. M. A., MISS MARGARET JAYNE. If an American is to be thoroughly educated, he must know his mother-tongue; he must know how to express his thoughts in speaking and writing, and must be conversant with the best thoughts of our greatest minds. If he wishes to be an orator, a statesman, or whatever profession he may choose, he must be familiar with his mother-tongue. And the value of such a knowledge of the English language is readily recognized by every person, who has the natural desire to excel in his chosen line of work. During the past year there have been several additions to the Faculty of the depart¬ ment of English Language and Literature. The department now is under the instruction of Dr. Albert E. Egge, assisted by Dr. Gaw, Mr. Reeser, and Miss Jayne. And under their able tutelage the courses of this department are among the most thorough of all the courses given. 25

W. G. BEACH, A. M., C. E. STANGELAND, Ph. D., A. BERGLUND, Ph. D. The Department of Economics Science and History has been so enlarged and broadened during the last two years that it has become one of the most important departments of the college and the broad and comprehensive courses which it offers are being taken advantage of by a much larger number of students than ever before. The faculty has this year been increased to three members. Dr. Stangeland, after spending a year studying in Europe, is back again, and Dr. Berglund, who filled Dr. Stangeland’s place, while the latter was in Europe, has been retained permanently. These with Prof. Beach, the head of the department, make an especially strong faculty for Economics Science and History. Many students of the college have begun to realize the importance of much training along economic and sociological lines, and not only is the number of students majoring in this department greatly increased, but the number of students from other departments who are electing work here is much larger than ever before. There is no course offered by the college which gives the student a broader and better working basis for a successful career in life than the course in Economic Science and History. To the lawyer, to the business man, to a citizen in any walk of life, a study of the economic and sociological problems which are the problems of citizenship, is of the highest importance and nowhere is a better opportunity offered for that study than in the courses of the Depart¬ ment of Economic Science and History. 24

CHARLOTTE MALOTTE, A. B. Virgil, Horace and Caesar may not be aware of it, but it is nevertheless true that they are ably and faithfully represented in our institution. It may be that they are not so desirable as acquaint¬ ances in our community, but often-times the things most needed are least desired. The gentlemen above named have figured in the limelight of this old world for many a moon, and it is a pleasure to know that they have not been entirely eclipsed by an age pro¬ nounced materialistic. While those who claim to know when a thing is not a thing, inform us that the call of the day is for farmers or engineers to develop our “great natural resources’ , we are glad there are some who remain loyal to those profound representatives of antiquity. One may be a good engineer and be unable to use good English. One may be a trained farmer and never have the stamp of being college bred, but one cannot associate with anyone of our three accomplished friends or there modern devotees without attaining unto some of those things which are fundamental, if not of pecuniary profit. 26
