Fp until the last few years, this de ree was almost entirely abstract. ourses which prepare a student or a specific vocation have been I .dded to the English courses; and E s a result, the departn-i& has laced many graduates in good, vell paid positions throughout the tate of South Carolina and other i oarts of the country. Students are I rained in teaching, newspaper vork, and radio. A course recently added to the -nglish department is radio. Al 'eudy this study is attracting con Iderable attention and popularity imong those seeking a profession. 3ne such class has laid the ground A,ork for a University of South Car :lina radio station, WUSC. The number of students taking English courses has increased great ly. At present the English depart ment has 1,900 students enrolled and next semester expects to have a total enrollment of 2,300. In the spring term there will be 85 classes in English open to stu dents. Because of the scarcity of classrooms there will be two shifts from 8 until 5 o'clock; howeyer, aft ernoon classes will he held only on Mondays. Wednesdays, and Fridays. All classes will again he held in Davis College. A compiet. list of tie coulses offered next Ierm is now available to students and moy be secured from the English de partment. More ,radume courses will he introduced in the near fu lure. The need for such courses has become increasingly obvious as the number of graduate students has grown. By the spriing term commencing in March there will be three new professors added to the English fav ulty force, the largest in the en tile history of U.S.C. They ale iDr. tichard Boale 1)avis, dischaigvd n.avl offivei, from the University of Virginia; Dr. Walter Thomas Ile0Iert, al:so n dischareed nival of ficer, from the University of Vir ginia, and Di.

Ithough he did not divulge any ames, Babcock reports that four iembers of the English depirtment ave written books which will prob bly be published within the next welve months. It Is interesting to note how the nglish department has become the eneral information bureau for outh Carolina. L-lers and phone ails are received every day from ersons who wish to have a quota ion identified, a grammatical con truction v'erified, a word spelled. oronounced, or defined, etc. The de artment has seldom been stumped )y these requests, and could go up tgainst the experts on "Informa ion Please" any day.
