HISTORY x D s x THIS IS FOR THE CADETS lllIl'l0 DONT STUDY. CPT Thomas Smith displays a BAR. E 5 1 J -75 bo Guide the Way, a leader must know where he or she has been. As George Santayana said, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. The Department of History teaches cadets about the past, so that they may better shape the future. An appreciation for the cultures of ancient China, the nuances of 19th Century European diplomacy, and the methods of World War Il, and other significant events support the develop- ment of historical mindedness. To that end, the Department offered you several options to learn more about history. As Plebes, you took either a survey course in World history or American history. As Cows you had the opportunity to learn about your profession in the History ofthe Military Art. As veterans of these courses all of you may not have understood history completely, but all ofyou experienced Clausewitz's fog ofwar, as evidenced by your performance on WPRs, TEES, and term papers. For those exceptional cadets who concentrated in History, the Department offered you many varied opportunities to study the past to better understand the future. Ultimately, the Department of History agrees with Ardant du Picq, that, only study ofthe past can give us a sense ofreality, and show us how the soldier will fight in the future.
