Social Science Prepares Leaders “I have but one lamp by which my feet arc guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judg- ing the future but by the past.” This quote by Patrick Henry expresses the necessity of Murphy’s Social Science Department. To avoid re-experiencing the blunders re- corded in history and thereby maintain the position of the United States in the world today, tomorrow’s leaders must associate the past with the future. A staff of fourteen in- structors assumes the responsibility of preparing two- thousand one-hundred eighty-nine students for this chal- lenge. Sixty-nine classes in world history, geography, gov- ernment and economics, and American history inquire into the past, re-discovering the achievements of mankind. In this way the Social Science Department plays its role in preserving our way of life for posterity. Mr. Kirk points out African civilization of ancient man. 23
