Rhetoric 1 2 1928

Excerpt from Rhetoric 1& 2, 1928: Manual and Calendar This pamphlet contains essential information and directions concerning the course. Students are expected at the beginning of the course to make themselves thoroughly familiar with all items in the manual - preceding the calendar - and will be responsible for the observance of all directions and regulations there given. Assignments in the Calendar will apply as printed except when altered by the instructor. When no assignment is given in class, the printed assignment will apply. Purpose of the Course This course is intended for students who already possess the ability to write and speak with elementary correctness and clearness. Work which occasionally relapses into bad errors of spelling, punctuation, or grammar, is either not passed at all or heavily penalized; and students who at the outset manifestly lack the ability to conform to the minimum standard are relegated to Rhetoric Zero. The aims of the course are: I. To develop the power and habit of effective speaking and writing, - especially for those purposes, practical and cultural, which university men and women, before and after graduation, will find more important in the work and play of life. II. To develop, as a necessary means to I, a love and understanding of good literature. Text Books Manual and Calendar of Rhetoric 1-2.
