While small conference groups should be retained as the fundamental organization, it would be an excellent idea to have weekly lectures given by specialists in certain fields, such as the drama, the novel, the poem, or the essay. Certainly the English Department has such specialists. These men, of necessity, would emphasize the form of each type of literature, but precisely what the student needs is an insight into the mechanics of writing and the organization of ideas...
