The department is ably directed by Miss Smith and a corps of assistants, who cooperate with her in trying to give students a wide range of historical knowledge, an idea of governing people, and a conception of man's business relations with his fellow men. All this is accomplished after four years of study, beginning in the freshman year with community civics, and continuing by gradual steps through the fields offered to the study of economics in the latter half of the senior year.
