SPEECH DEPARTMENT Ob;ective. Believing that in any society the individual's adjustment and success is dependent largely upon his effectiveness in oral communication, the Speech Department considers acceptable speech an essential for every student. Courses may deal with public speaking generally; with special aspects such as composition, con tent, and delivery; or with specialized forms such as radio, oral reading, story telling, speech correction, and visual aids. Emphasis is placed upon worthy motiva tion; fresh, valid, and significant content; and clear and forceful delivery. 49
