F ' I. HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE 4 I 'fra V S, ' w X -S Civilization today is faced with grave problems. These problems are extremely com- plex in character and include social, political, and economic considerations. Further- more, these problems have reached the critical stage and currently pose a threat to human relationships if not to civilization itself. Any solution of the worId's ills must grow out of the acquisition of the fullest possible knowledge bearing upon these problems, the development of a capacity, and the inculcation of the virtues of personal integrity and responsibility in every individual. History, properly studied, provides the necessary information, affords practice in utilizing this information to produce reasoned hypotheses, and demonstrates the neces- sity of personal integrity and responsibility. In a democratic system like our own, a familiarity with our historical heritage is essential to intelligent citizenship. HENRY W. HOWE, A.M.
