CAMPUS OPINION
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
Appearing in Saturday's issue of
The Daily was an editorial comment
on Mr. D. Is.'s communication which
was published on Friday. I feel that
the question which he raises concern-
ing the feasibility of a course in1
World History cannot he so lightly
dismissed. In view of Dr. Slosson's
remarks in the Sunday's issue, any
further discussion may, perhaps,
seem superfluous. In my opinion, how-
ever, the importance of the problem

The writer of the e'litorial to which

World History cannot be given "with
any approach to adequacy". Granted.,
Such a course, obviously, would leave
much to be desired; indeed, it would
have many positive faults-but, and
here lies my argument, something
must be done to enable the universi-
ties to educate, in greater numbers in
the coming decade than in the last,
men and women capable of facing the
grave problems which must be solv-
cd if Western civilization is to en-
dure. Today, as never before ,are

tions have contributed-and, above all,
men who are not mere bigoted cha.u-
vinists, men who, although cognizant
of the fact that patriotism in its more
noble forms has produced much that
is good and beautiful, are, at the
same time, acutely aware of the vi-
ciousness of that blind love-of-coun-
try which hils as its motto: "Our
country? . . . may she always be in
the right; but our country right or
e,rong." But will a detailed te.dious,
and often distasteful study of dates,
reigns and campaigns-a study of ne-
cessity very limited in its scope and
viwpoint --be of the greatest aid in
furnishing our future citizens with
the needed impetous and inspiration?
On the contrary, this rigorous focrs-
ng upon a plethora of heterogeneous
details often blinds the student to the
great underlying truths and lessons;
which a study of the history of man'
should reveal, to say nothing of the
fact that the average student-the fu-
ture engineer, doctor, novelist, physic-
ist-has no time in which to study:
history in the detailed manner of the
professional historian.
In view of these considerations, I
venture the opinion that a lecture
course designed for Juniors and Sen-
iors, based on such books as, say,
Well's Outline of Hirtory and Rob-
inson's Mind In the Making, andI em-

epochs of past time which are of par-
ticular significance at the present
would be of inestimable value.
