that is vital in his trade and dooms himself to mediocrity and stagnation. On the
other hand, he may protect his business from the danger of idle stock by
speculating on the latest publications, but this is a dangerous game in that it
implies a constantly changing clientele: readers remain faithful to their own
discoveries and failure to follow up a book; an author or a type of literature

The learning of a foreign language should be an integral part of every university
student's education. As a discipline, it affords the mind excellent training. It
utilizes skills needed in so many other subjects: the concentration required for
memorizing music (not to mention developing the ear for tone and pitch); the
logical thinking for resolving mathematical problems, even the deductive
reasoning capabilities needed to comprehend philosophical concepts. The mind
is stretched through the simple act of learning the grammatical patterns,
vocabulary and phonological system of a language. At the same time, the
student of a foreign language is acquiring a useful tool. This tool has a double
advantage, for while most people (especially teachers) expound on the rewards
of being able to communicate in a second, third or fourth language, perhaps the
more promising of the two, is being able to understand and hopefully appreciate
another cultural group through their literature, their music and customs all of
which are best assimilated through the medium of their language.
