LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE 81 and Professor: John W. Reed, Chairman Associate Prnfessor: Harmon Bergen Assistant Professors: Edward Greenwood, Helmuth C. Poggemiller, Edward E. Spencer, M. Deane White Instructor: Miriam B. Maddox The division of Language and Literature is comprised of A) Speech, B) English Langauge, C) World, English, and American Literature, D) Spanish, E) French, F) German, and G) Greek. The speech department specializes in oral communication. A combina– tion of theory and practice is used to enable the student to communicate effectively in a wide range of experiences. The English department purposes to give each student a working knowl– edge of the language, enabling him to write clear, readable, effective English and to know the great masterpieces of English and American Literature. 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 intelligibly in a number of situations. Use of the language laboratory to both listen and record is required of all language students. The general education requirement in foreign language is met by com– pleting two years of either a modern or classical (Latin, Greek) language in high school or one year in college.
