History and Political Science
James Dyke van Putten, Ph.D. Head of the Department of History and Political Science
From the study of man's past life on earth comes a comprehension of the inevitability of change accompanied by a realization that change and progress are not necessarily synonymous. A consciousness of history as the record of h u m a n effort to solve basic problems common to all better fits the student to be a citizen of the world community capable of taking intelligent action on the complex problems of the socio-political world in which he lives. " T h e past is a prologue" to the f u t u r e and, when properly viewed and understood, holds the key to the direction of the present and the future.
