ment will be under the joint direc¬

duction. speech correction, oral in¬
terpretation, religious drama, lyric
theatre, and theatre production.
All present speech and drama
activitifes will be under the spon¬
sorship and guidance of the new
program.
Students who choose Speech and
Dramatic Arts as their area of con¬
centration will take basic courses
in speech and drama and will have
enough electives to permit them to
concentrate on some particular
phase of the new curriculum.
In commenting on the union of
the two departments, Major Davis
stated that he thought it was abso¬
lutely the practical thing to do, and
that it would result in strengthen¬
ing and enlarging both fields of ac¬
tivity.
