ENGLISH From poetry to fiction, English students explore the world of language. In litera- ture from Beowulf to Hemingway, literary trends can be traced as they emerge from one civilization to characterize another. A new concentration in modern and classical drama is designed to interest girls at- tracted to theater work of all kinds. Trac- ing the styles of a variety of dramatists and essayists helps the student to develop her own way of writing as well as adding to her knowledge. The high point of college learning comes with the senior seminar. In a small group of interested students, the professor-student relation- ship becomes close. As a guide, critic, and lecturer, the professor may help to direct one’s individual research. A full course in itself, the weekly sessions attempt to draw together the whole trend of literature within the network of intellectual history. Seated: Christine Denny, A.M.; Curtis Dahl, Ph.D.; Louise MacKenzie, A.M.
