ENGLISH DR. HOYT C. FRANCHERE English, department head The English department offers a full lower­ division program of composition and literature courses, including English, American and World literatures, and Shakespeare. The composition course gives the student exercises in reading, writing, listening and speaking. It is a course in the structure of ideas aimed at producing an ar­ ticulate and straight-thinking individual. . Though literature courses present to the stu­ dent the best that has been thought and said in the world, they are also exercises in reading and thinking. They present him with many of the great and moving and productive ideas that have been expressed; they let him see what other peo­ ple have enjoyed, how other people have lived. They offer experience and wisdom and under­ standing. EGBERT S. OLIVER English DR. CARL E. W.L DAHLSTROM English STANLEY L. JOHNSON English MRS. ELLA G. LITCHFIELD English DR.
