Social Sciences Despite the necessary wartime emphasis upon tech- nical, vocational, and scientific subjects, the Social Sciences have held their own, and have even expanded their influence in some fields, during the current conflict. This has happened because students and faculty alike have realized, fortunately, that the study of man's relations to man, is not something remote and peripheral, but is central to the entire contemporary scene. Training in social, historical, political, and economic problems is viewed as essential if we are to comprehend what has happened to us, and if we are to plan at all effectively for the future. Though man has used his ingenuity to develop instruments and mechanical devices of amazing efficiency and skill, he has not learned how to control himself, or how to direct the use of his machines to the best social advantage. The rise of Nazism, for example, and the war itself, are evi- dences of human immaturity and ineptitude. Recognition of this situation has produced a desire on the Part of the present day student to know more about how this war has come to be, about the great social forces loose on the globe and about the means of working to prevent a repetition of the holocaust. As a result history, economics, sociology, political science, psychology and anthropology have seemed eminently prac- tical, and in many ways just as vital to our well-being as other subjects more closely related to the actual tasks of achiev- ing military victory. The Social Sciences, therefore, have acquired new importance, and appreciation of their significant role in the modern world has increased enormously. Payton S. Wild Alvin H. Hansen is one of the world's leading economists. ,., ea 5
