HISTUHY As modern man and his machines reduce the magnitude of the globe, the task of history instructors is made proportionally greater and more vital. Only with a basic knowledge of the history and gov- ernment of nations now within air hours of our borders can we hope to understand their difficulties and actions, Unless this can be suc- cessfully accomplished, the peace and security of the world will be in constant jeopardy. As well as coverage of universal topics in world history classes, and of hemispheric relations in Latin- American history, a full realization of fm the establishment and development of A our United States is necessary. This is provided for by the requirement that all -3' V students enroll for one year of American , i' history and a semester of American gov- 41 ernment. .l Economics and sociology, the two , remaining courses offered by the History Department, delve into the complex questions relating to the wealth of men si and nations, and the social and racial l differences of peoples, respectively. 1 I ,-1, kay Isabelle Carlisle ...af GQ' Helen Huletz 1'-e yy--if Paul Radke A1'lllLll' Ramstad Gertrude Schnasse Florence Tennyson Maurice Thompson lO Visual education is fast-be- coming a vital part of the ac- tivities of the History Depart-
