Custodial history

Scope and content

Art R. Knight, Dean of Arts, cuts the ribbon during the opening of the new language lounge of the French and Spanish Department.

Bio/Historical Note: The University's first professor of French was hired during its second year of operation in 1910. For the next five decades the department remained relatively small and concentrated on first and second year classes which filled the second language requirement for a BA degree. The department opened one of the first language labs in Canada in 1959. With the introduction of Spanish Studies in 1964, the name was changed to the Department of French and Spanish. In 1968 the second language requirement was dropped from the BA degree and class enrolment was halved. The department overrhauled its policies and programs by shifting emphasis to oral work at all levels. In 1989, Spanish came under the administration of the newly created Department of Modern Languages and French became an independent department.
