The object of the prescribed courses outlined below is not so much the acquisition of knowledge regarding English as skill in the use of English. They are chiefly designed to furnish the student with the ability to write well and to speak well,—to express their thoughts, both with the pen and with the voice, in a clear, effective manner. 1. Themes and Elocution.—Students from the Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering, and Science do their work in this department during their junior year. No text book is used; but in order that all practice in writing may be intelligent, a fair working knowledge of the principles of composition is conveyed in lectures. Ten themes are presented by each person, each of which, after correction by the instructor, is handed back to the student to be carefully re-written and returned to the instructor.
