Foreign Language Dorm

Little Hall has been designated to house approximately 100 students next fall in the College's first dormitory assigned entirely to language students. The language dormitory is a second step in a revision of language learning methods; the first was inauguration last fall of a new intensive teaching method.

Students completing the foreign language requirement for overseas study after only two terms under the new intensification will be required to live in the dormitory, where daily communication is to be mainly in languages other than English. Those in the regular Foreign Study Program will also be admitted, with preference going to the Class of 1971.

John A. Rassias, Associate Professor of Romance Languages, said that most of the dormitory's residents will be French students, while Spanish and Russian students will have a wing each. A language Professor and 25 student apprentice teachers will live in the dormitory. The Program will have three phases: students will live in the dormitory for a term, spend a term abroad, and then return to the dormitory for a final term.
