Foreign Language The mixture of tongues beneath Wheaton’s Tower is a fair representation of how the confusion of tongues be- neath Babel’s tower might have sounded. Perhaps it is worse, since the people at Babel could not help themselves, but then neither can the struggling hopefuls whose pro- nunciation is usually a thing of great pity. At least at Babel there was no stress and strain on a group of valiant and earnest professors. Some of these patient individuals, gen- erally known as language professors, really speak like natives the tongue they teach. Just lend an ear to Dr. Hale talking to his wife over the Bell system. That’s French he’s rattling off so nonchalantly. Or gather yourself a bit of that French color that Miss Spaulding can bring to her classes, dating from the time of her residence in sunny southern France. And have you heard the newest member of the department, Miss Keiser, in the throes of a gay spirited confab with Carlos Diez? It sounds like a Pan- American conference on a small scale. She is doing a lot for Pan-American relations as well by actually making her students love her subject. These Spanish-speaking people even had a party to celebrate how they felt about the whole thing, with some home-made chili for refreshment.
