., Division of Language and Literature The division of Language and Literature consists of A) English Language, B) Speech, C) English and American Liter– ature, D) Greek, E) Spanish, F) French, and G) German. The English department aims to give each student a work– ing knowledge of the language, enabling him to write clear, readable, effective English; to analyze correctly any piece of English writing; to know the great masterpieces of English and American literature; to love his own language and to desire to explore its treasures for himself. All students entering the school are required to take the English Placement Test unless they present acceptable evidence of advance standing. The foreign language department believes that a living language can only be properly learned as the student masters the pronunciation, develops the ability to understand both the spoken and written language and is able to express himself in– telligibly in a number of situations. Use of the language laboratory to both listen and record is required of all language students. A student who has had two years of a foreign language in high school and wishes to continue his studies in that language to meet college foreign language requirements may satisfy such req11irements by taking the second year (six hours) of his elected language.
