SOCIAL STUDIES The glory that was Athens, birth- place of democracy . . the horror wrought throughout the world by Mars, god of war. . . the youth of one who would later seek to rule the world . . These are elements of history, part of the sum total of all that has combined to produce the world in which we live. Interest in history began thousands of years ago and continues unabated today. Through courses in European History, United States History, and Problems of American Democracy, the student gains insight into the origins from which our system of government has evolved and the ways in which a republic functions. . To the individual interested in specialized studies, courses in eco- nomics, social psychology, and World Geography are available. History is a subject which is never outdated because it is constantly being revised by new discoveries and enlarged with the addition of current events, which will become the history of tomorrow. MARCIA T. WESTPFAHL, Department Head
