EDWARD LAKIN MR.,HARRlSON C. BOUGHTON Professor of Music The responsibilities of a music department in a small liberal arts college toward professional education are threefold. As in any other depart- ment, the departmental major is the backbone of standards' and achievement for all activities that come from the department. The first responsibility is in the development of a total person available through a broad academic program and constantly available personal guidance. Second, each graduate must be a musician of quality. Since a person teaching a non-verbal communication ultimately cannot explain but must demonstrate, each musi- cian must be a performer. Third, the professional intentions of the student must be guided and assisted. There are five areas open to music stu- dents-teaching, music ministry, performance, business and music therapy. ln the area of general education, it is the function of the music department to provide cultural opportunities through music organizations, private study toward the end of personal pleasure, and academic courses for the understanding of music's place historically and personally. Now we are entering an area of examination of music's influence on human behavior. This influence is best understood in terms of the non-verbal function of music in the physical and psychological aspects of man's nature. lt is the responsibility of the music department to see that the liberal arts student is aware of this social and psychological function of music through the study of style and form as expressions of historical men. The music department seeks to provide an aca- demically sound element in the general education of the non-musician and to produce musicians who are skilled and prepared to accept their responsi- bilities as mature citizens in contrast to the limited citizenship of conservatory trained specialists.

Language and literature are important criteria which often indi- cate and reflect the thought, philosophy, and ideology of a nation and its people. The study of foreign languages contributes much to a better understanding of other peoples and nations. The Modern Language Department at William Iewell hopes for this reason that the student will continue his study and use of the foreign language after graduation. This department strives to integrate foreign language study with courses offered by other departments, particularly with English and the sciences. Foreign language study develops language consciousness. I4 . . LEADERSHIP The Department of Ancient Languages aims to give its students an acquaintance with Latin and Greek vocabulary which will enable them to recognize and appreciate cognate words in their English reading, such a knowledge of syntax as will help in their understanding of the structure of the English language, and some first hand acquaintance with the treasure which we have in ancient classical literature. It aims at stirring in- terest in further study in the classical field and at providing a background for appreciation of the Greek New Testament. Emphasis in Greek is upon form and syntax as the students read simple Attic prose, and biblical and non-biblical material of the Old and New Testament periods. Students of Latin not only increase their grasp of English and other foreign languages, but also develop a sensitivity to exactness and precision of mental discipline.

In both of these areas the purpose is to aid the student in learning to think clearly and logically. The primary goal of composition is the ability to write in an organized and effective manner, an ability which is acquired through writing, re- vising, and rewriting. To the extent that all students are required to express themselves intelligently and intelligibly, the English Department's concern with the teaching of composition is a concern which transcends departmental boundaries and becomes interrelated with the whole process of liberal education. The study of literature, generally, is the study of those writings which heighten one's awareness I6 . . LEADERSHIP of life and the values which give life meaning. More specifically, however, the instructors, in their approach to literature, emphasize the technical aspects of literature, the fundamentals of literary criticism, and principles of analysis and interpre- tation. In the Speech Department the aim is to train students to communicate valid ideas effectively. The ideas they must draw from their own experi- ences, their readings and studies in other areas. However, in certain areas of speech, such as interpretation and drama, the student may be expressing the ideas of others. Since the listener's viewpoint must also be considered, some emphasis is given to critical listening. Outgrowths of the Speech Department are the dramatics and forensics activities. f 2 f f 7 ,V 115.1 Afro Hell I IV wres retur a fre herit. maki Dept Play econc his II him I cesse: are e P1 IILIKLII of ma ment Stud: but I whicf
