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. ABBCTT Assistant Professor DR. DADE SPARKS Professor DR. A. ELIZABETH TAYLOR Associate Professor MISS OLIVE WHITE Associate Professor These alert History students examine the map as Mr. Landry relates geographical information to internal problems.
