MT DR. PAUL P. YOUNG Director, History and Government, Professor, Government MR. HARRAL E. LANDRY Instructor, History History and Government Strives to Teach Truth Remembering that history is a discipline which seeks to find the truth concerning human events, the history faculty has this as a major goal. Accordingly attempts are made to prepare students to face all historical prob- lems confidently by relating the past to the present and the present to the past. Closely related to history is the discipline of govern- ment. The survival of free government depends upon access to relevant facts by the people. Equally, it de- pends on a much rarer ability of the individual to ac- quire skill in this knowledge and use of basic principles by which facts are properly evaluated and rightly or- dered. The goal of the faculty in the field of government is to impart both the formation and information needed by future citizens for the fulfillment of their high obliga- tions. The Department offers not only formal lecture courses but also certain civic organizations: the Citizenship League, the History Club and Phi Alpha Theta. For students contemplating a career in teaching, poli- tics or public administration the Department of History and Government offers special direction and assistance. PHYLLIS R.
