The English Department strives to fill two basic needs of each student-to enrich his life through the study of literature, and to cultivate a workable comprehension of the intricacies of the English language. The former is done through the study of writings, both prose and poetry, throughout the various periods of the past and into the present, courses analyzing eras such as Romantic, Victorian, early contemporary British and American, etc., offer the student the cumulative history of these periods. Courses dealing with in- dividuals like Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton, plus 'ganthologyl' courses, summarize the great authors and poets of all ages. Achieve- ment of the latter is reached through introductory, composition, and grammar courses, for those so inclined, literary criticism courses are also offered.
