"Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote . . ."
"The quality of mercy is not strained . . ."
"The mind . . . can make a Hell of Heaven and a Heaven of Hell . . ."
'"Has been taken'—passive voice . . ."
"Subjunctive—mood of doubt . . ."
A mixture of tongues—the Teutonic, the Latin, the Greek, the Hebrew.
Speaking and writing are the essence of our communication, but con-
versation and literary skills do not come to many as a natural gift.
It is the job of the twenty members of the English Department and
of Miss Rosalind Gordon of the Department of Speech and Dramatics
to develop within the student the art of expression through composition
and oral communication. They don't profess to have an easy task: to
equip each student with the basic fundamentals of language arts
requires patience, skill, and experience. The English Department mem-
bers attempt to incorporate all three talents in their dealings with
their pupils in order to show that English, a descendant of the ancient
tongues, is a living, growing language.
