Haverford Happenings
Haverford’s English Department is dedicated to educating boys to see the world around them clearly, critically, and sensitively. Through the study of literature, we strive to nurture young men to be thoughtful and generous forces in their communities and to be able to read, write, and speak with precision and power. As students examine literature both traditionally Western and more culturally diverse, they encounter attitudes and lives that expose them to new perspectives. As they write analytical papers, personal narratives, and creative pieces, they build and explore their rhetorical and artistic skills. As they speak in small discussion groups and in formal presentation, they discover their own voices and learn to listen to each other.
