There is little that is more important for an American citizen to know than the history and traditions of his country. Without such knowledge, he stand uncertain and defenseless before the world, knowing neither where he has come from nor where he is going. With such knowledge, he is no longer alone but draws a strength far greater than his own from the cumulative experience of the past and a cumulative vision of the future. John F. Kennedy, 1962. Students must write all four exams.
Students have the opportunity of securing extra credit with a book report.
The book must be approved in advance by the instructor. The report, not to exceed three typed pages, will have a maximum potential value of 6, and must be submitted on or before April 30. Regular attendance is required. A seating chart will be compiled and the roll taken frequently. Print the title, author's name, date of publication, and number of pages on an index card and give it to the instructor when you seek approval.
