Studies include instruction in various non-western languages, i.e., Arabic, Modern Greek, Hindi, Modern Hebrew, Swahili, and Yoruba.¹ As stated in its original appeal to the Board, the Department "recognized prior claim of existing language departments to continue to offer courses of a linguistic nature which draw their material from the language they teach."²
