RUSSELL KEELING I11.r1rnc1or in English liz.-'frm'for in English and Speech Department of English and Speech From a very simplihed viewpoint the English Department is concerned with only one thing -the student's ability to read and write. But, of course, this is indeed a simplihecl viewpoint. For the Department is concerned not just with the student's ability to write but his ability to write well, his ability to organize his thoughts clearly and logically and to express them in effective written English. Likewise the Department is con- cerned with the student's ability to read well, his ability to read with more than a superficial under- standing, his ability to interpret and to see the relation of literature to his own life. Because these abilities are important to every college student, practice in the basic skills leading to these abilities is introduced to all students 71' if S T .7 il I ,ff ' V ,1-mi li Q 3 F- 1 1 'zfavf ff' it -ii 5 ill.

The Department also offered this year an uppercluss course, Survey of World Literature, designed especially for non-English majors. The Speech Department might also be said to be concerned only with the student's ability to speak. Such a statement would again be highly simplihed, for the Department is concerned with much more. It is concerned with the student's ability to reason, to argue, to explain, and to con- vince. It is concerned with his ability to present his own ideas in effective, intelligible spoken Eng- lish. In the area of interpretation it is concerned with the student's ability to present orally the ideas of others. NIR. I. Gorznosr KINGSLEY Miss Mmm IEAN LANE Miss Vlncmm Dixv1zNPon'r Rice Mu.

Departments of Psychology and Education The Department of Psychology attempts to teach the student to understand and evaluate his own actions and the actions of others with an objective view. The course work ranges from an introductory class for all students to History and Systems or Experimental Psychology in which one attempts to use the scientific methods. The aim of the Education Department is to prepare students for the teaching profession hy helping them understand the principles of learning, giving them a knowledge of the materials of the profes- sion, and the techniques through which to use the materials. An annual event is the Education Conference in which students prepare DR- IOSEPH HARRY GRHIHTHS exhibits and participate in discussions concerning educational trends.
