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.

LAW he United States Military Academy Department of Law is firmly dedicated to providing West Point cadets with an appreciation of the importance of the law to their future endeavors as military officers and citizens. Graduating cadets are exposed to the Constitution they swear to support and defend through their experiences in Constitutional and Military Law, taken in their First Class year. The constitutional principles gleaned from their studies will guide them through a lifetime of service to the nation. The Department of Law also guides cadets to an understanding of diverse areas of law through courses like Business Law, Environ- mental Law, International Law, Jurisprudence, Military Law, Operational Law, and Legal Method. In an increasingly complex society, sound policy determinations require leaders to be cognizant ofthe role ofthe law in their decision making process. The Department of Law provides cadets with the foundation to recognize the legal issues they will face as leaders, and an analytical framework to deal with these issues within the bounds of the law. The Department of Law strives to guide USMA cadets to personify the Constitutional and legal principles that bind our society together. Success in this effort is sure to produce leaders of character. new THE RULES OF THE GAME. CPT Scott Romans teaches cadets the dos and don'ts of law. DON RUCKER DEPARTMENT OF LAW.
