. Knapton story It is during smoker bull sessions that one can always spot the history major. It is she who will most likely come up with the re- mark, “Oh, how Machiavellian!” And when asked by non-history majors or those who have long since forgotten an appalling amount of the knowledge acquired in History 101 what she means, she will answer, perhaps with marked disdain, “You mean you’ve never read The Prince?” If this exchange does not take place, she will probably show a tendency at least to bring into the discussion as many key dates as she can remember. She is, however, well equipped to do this. Encompassing courses ranging from the study of Medieval History to the modern economic and diplomatic studies of the United States, the history major learns to analyze political, social, and economic trends, and to incorporate these into the present world situation. In addition to gaining broad knowledge in both European and American History, the student during her senior year specializes in one of these two fields, thus building a concentrated knowledge upon the base already acquired. History majors in their four years at Wheaton not only learn his- torical fact, but gain a clearer comprehension of the past; and more important than this, they learn to face the present and the future with deeper insight and understanding. Mr. Knapton, Miss Norton, Miss Clewes, Miss Ruby
