History and Government Find Places in Student’s Knowledge CLARK, WILLIAM: B. S., Cornell University; A., Reed College; Doctoral Candidate, University of Portland; teaches United States History; military advisor, senior class activities adviser, Social Studies Department Head. Why is it important to study the past? Why do we need to know about ancient Roman civilization of European explo- rers when it is possible that we no longer will be restricted by our earthly bound- aries or even by the boundaries of our universe? I’m sure many social studies stu- dents ask this question. The study of history, economics, and politics is one which can broaden the horizons of a stu- dent's world. The duty of a liberal arts program is to help the student to understand himself and his purpose in the world. Maybe the knowledge of past accomplishments can help him decide what he is able to do. He may find that he has a wider track on which to prove himself, or he may find that there are more limitations than he realized. Either way he finds his out- look much more complete after a tho- rough study in tlie social sciences which will be a part of his future life.
