History A clear understanding of the present time well sup- ported by an appreciation of the past, constitute the dual aim of the History Department. With this idea always in mind, the department offers a wide selection of courses that cover most of the main fields of history and which are designed to acquaint the student with important theories of historical interpretation and selection. A number of bas ic classes such as Modern World and U.S. History are avail- able for any student who doesn ' t intend to major, but who wishes general background. The broad Coverage and applicability of the cur- riculum is witnessed by the wide choice of vocations made by majors each year. During the last few years, students have gone into law, business administration, journalism, radio work, government service, and graduate study. A course is provided, as in most departments, for the well-qualified student to do supervised, individual work in the field of his special interest. This gives the valuable experience of reading source material— the original docu- ments—and then forming individual ideas of the period covered. Mrs. Pinkham warns cheerful history majors about comps. HISTORY DEPARTMENT Mr. Victor E. Pinltham, Dr. Marian B. Clausen, Dr. Lucille D. Pinkham, Dr. Stephen B. Barnwell, Mr. Clark C. Spence. 25
