The room of the History Department is on the first floor, main building. in the east half of what was the first chapel of the University. Dr. Todd, of the Department of Economics and Sociology, gives a course in this department in American History, the Constitutional Period. Dr. DeXVitt, of the Department of Greek, offers a course in this department in Greek History, and Dr. VVildman of the Department of Latin, offers a course in Roman History. The chief need of a history department-a varied reference library-the University did not for some time possess. The books which once belonged to it were in many cases, lost during the interregnum of the school This has, however, been constantly growing, until the department can now offer under- graduate opportunities for work, which will compare favorably with the very best.
