English Students Relive the Literary Post Communication is the essence of the English depart- ment's curriculum. Thoughts and ideas are expressed through novels which are discussed in the English class, through speeches and plays which are analyzed and attempted in the Speech and Drama class, and through editorials and news reports which are interpreted in the journalism course. The English department emphasizes the whole concept of communication through their study of the implements of oral and written expression. Grammar is the basis of the chain of communication, and through its study the student gains a foundation for his writing skills so that he may effectively communicate his ideas in writing. The student of English studies litera- ture in order to gain insights into the written thoughts of past and present authors, and these ideas are then discussed in class. Through the study of literature, speech, and writing, the student becomes acquainted with the tools of effective communication.
