A Bridge etween eoples The language department offers four lan- guages, French, Spanish, Latin, and German. Each of these languages demands many disci- plines. The student must first grasp the vocabu- lary then master the spoken language and finally understand its subtleties. Both audio and visual aids are used in an attempt to master the lan- guages. By crossing language barriers one begins to close the cultural gap and thus increase inter- national understanding. However, the knowl- edge of these languages includes not only gram- mar, but also the literature. Both ancient and modern works are studied to give the students a flavor of the tradition of these countries. Through a knowledge of the literature, an in- sight into the lives and customs of the foreign countries is acquired. Thus, an appreciation of the various cultures promotes a means of inter- cultural understanding.
