ADVICE TO STUDENTS.
Given by Prof Droppers, United
States Al. .bassador to Greece.

Letter from Athens to the Williams Record.
! take the liberty of making sugges-
tion that former students of my classes
have frequently heard me mention. /
refer to the ineXcusable indifference
on the part of students in American
colleges to thorough knowledge of
foreign languages, particularly French
and German. When l think of the ex-
pensive equipment provided by. say.
Williams College for the acquisition of
these two languages and the admitted
iy feeble result. l must confess to a
feeling of regret for the waste of so
much money and energy. The college
and the teaching staff are not in most
instances to blame. The fault is due
largely to a perverted and. one may
add. provincial public opinion among
tbs body of American students.
foreign language adequately mas
tered doubles ones capacity for useful
hess in innumerablc rela of life
In Greece educated young men Of twen-
" and twenty-one nuently speak
French, German or English. besides
their native language, and sometimes
all three. Why should not American
students learn at least one foreign
language. If not thoroughly, at least
sufficiently for practical purposes?
French stiD remains the international /
language of the world. and I need not
add that speaking and reading
knowledge of German is an immense
asset to any educated American.
What ! am trying to do is to effect
change n the attitude OF Williams
students toward foreign languages
They are neglecting one of the most
potent instruments FOR usefulness. both
10 themselves and to society, in not
taking the fullest advantage of the
means so generously provided by their
colleges for their own benefit.

For about a century, as i am reminded
by minister of that hourishing
church, women have held every post
