History

The history faculty engages students in an inquiry into the past. By reconstructing earlier

civilizations and perceiving various ages within a time frame stretching from prehistory

to the present, the history student comes to see an age in relationship to what came before

and what follows. A sense of continuity is developed that expands mental horizons,

permits fruitful comparisons to be made with the present, and allows a more acute

awareness of one’s surroundings. The effort to understand the peoples of the past makes

use of various skills and techniques including the evaluation of evidence, employment of

imagination, research skills in diverse sources of information, and effective oral and

written communication skills. A primary concern of the study of history is change. The

student who is conscious of the continuous process of change is better prepared for the

conditions of change taking place today.
