ommunication I s The Key 0 ndeffstcmclzn Upperclassmen find the library a quiet place to study. The main objective of the English department is to teach students to think logically and to ex- press their ideas coherently. The English depart- ment offers grammar, literature, and writing. Grammar involves the mechanics of writing, spelling, punctuation, and the use of vocabulary. The literary study concentrates on the study of literature, and writing concentrates on the con- trol of language to express thoughts and emo- tions. So students gain, in the study of grammar, a base for accurate writing, in literature a greater human comprehension, and in writing an ability to communicate more deeply. As a student gains a clearer understanding of others through literature, he gradually reaches a clearer understanding of himself. So the English depart- ment is strengthening existent bridges between writers and students, and is helping to build new bridges of literacy.
