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