The History Department wish to delete four of our present
upper-level courses from the curriculum.
?
In one (History

?
Romantic Nationalism in the Operas and Music Dramas
of Verdi & Wagner) the instructor, Alan Aherbach, wishes to
be assigned other duties.
?
The other three:
History 447-3:
?
The United States in the 19th Century
History 448-3: The United States in the 20th Century
History 449-3:
?
Problems in United States History
are to be replaced by other more specific courses in American
History. ?
They are:
History 381-3: The American Presidency
• ?
History 383-3: The American Dream
History 450-3: The Era of the American Civil War
History 451-3: The American Myth
History 452-3: The United States in the Progressive Era
History 453-3: The United States Between the Wars
The History Department believe that presenting these courses
in this way will simplify course selection and provide student
transcripts which reflect more clearly that which has actually
been studied.
?
In addition the Department wish to add to our
offerings at the 300 level where it is thought that further
courses, particularly in United States history, will benefit
our students.
Finally, the Department wish to add a single course at the
200 level.
?
This is History 255-3:
?
The Emergence of Modern
China. The Department have not offered such a course on a
regular basis in the past, and we wish to remedy this over-
sight. ?
Our students have frequently asked for a course in
the modern history of China, and we believe that now is the
time to make this addition.

Final synthesis and evaluation
As this is an upper division course, most class time will-be
occupied by seminar discussion. Therefore, each one of us
must individually and collectively assume a major
responsibility for the intellectual content of the seminar.
Most of the chapters in the text are brief and somewhat
generalized; nevertheless, they do provide a useful
overview for each president to be examined. Additional
assignments will be made during the informal mini-lecture
near the close of the week preceding our discussion.
Part of each seminar will include progress reports on the
president you have selected for your research paper from
among the following:
James Madison
James Monroe
James Buchanan
Andrew Johnson
Ulysses Simpson Grant
William McKinley
William Howart Taft
Warren Gamaliel Harding
Herbert Hoover
Dwight Eisenhower
John F. Kennedy
Lyndon Johnson
Richard Nixon
Jimmy Carter
Ronald Regan
The central thrust of your paper should relate to their use,
refusal to use, or abuse of presidential power. Through in-
progress seminar reports you will have the opportunity to
delimit the topic into manageable proportions.
Two typewritten copies of your paper are required. Only
the original should be handed in on the due date. When
graded and returned, you should hand in the copy.

D. S. KIRSCHNER
FALL 1988
CONTENT: One of the guiding myths (we shall have to define that term)
of American society is the "American Dream," although not all
Americans agree on just what it is, on who has the right to
dream it, or even on the degree to which it describes reality.
Some praise it, some condemn it, many write novels and plays
and screenplays about it, but nobody doubts that most
Americans believe in it. And that alone gives it an awesome
reality, one which is confirmed regularly (especially in the
1980s) with almost every presidential utterance.
In this course we shall be exploring some of the variations on
this theme, from the easy optimism of the late nineteenth
century to the often darker visions of the late twentieth. Each
student will be asked to present an oral analysis of one of our
sources, and to prepare a paper of 2000-2500 words on that
source. There will be a final exam drawn from questions that
will be distributed in advance.

THE ERA OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
?
.
CONTENT: ?
In this course we will focus on the disintegration of national
institutions and shared values in the antebellum period: the
cultural and political as well as the military significance of the
war itself; and the main events of the Reconstruction era. We
will discuss the impact of these events on ordinary people,
black and white, as well as on leaders. Rather than a course
for 'war buffs, this will be an analysis of war and society,
broadly construed.
During the first three weeks we will analyze antebellum
America. In week 2 we will focus on slavery and in week 3
on anti-slavery. During weeks 4-9 we will deal with the war
itself. Special topics will include the historiographical debate
over the causes of the civil war; the social and personal impact
of the war on common soldiers and civilians; wartime politics
and diplomacy: and grand strategy and generalship. Week 10
and 11 will focus on the political and social history of
reconstruction.In
addition to the
?
weekly readings each student will prepare a
.
20 minute oral presentation for the seminar, to be given
during the last four weeks. This report will be based on the
term paper, which will be discussed first on September 22,
and will be due on November 24. Finally, each student will
write a take-home final exam.

D. S. KIRSCHNER
FALL 1988
CONTENT: To put it bluntly, the United States was a mess in the late 19th
century. Institutions that had been nurtured in a rural
Protestant culture were collapsing under the weight of
industrialization, urbanization, and waves of immigrants from
non-Protestant nations in southern and eastern Europe. A
nation of "island communities' was compelled to address the
impulses of modernization. What followed until World War I,
historians agree, was the Progressive era,
And there agreement ends. Some historians locate the source
of progressivism in a declining old middle class; others, in a
rising new middle class; some, in the immigrant working class;
others, in monopoly capitalists. It follows that they present us
with a very confusing array of "reforms" and reformers. One
historian describes urban bosses corrupting the democratic
• ?
process and urban reformers purifying it; the next describes
urban bosses warmly aiding the poor over the steely
opposition of elitist reforms. One historian sees the women's
movement expressing the march of democracy; the next sees
it as the source of a stifling moralism. One historian praises
"social justice" reformers for their sympathy with the
downtrodden; the next condemns them for their repression of
the working class. One historian sees presidents who were
stalwart reformers; the next sees them as ego-inflated bigots.
Clearly this was a complicated era.
We shall meet once each week to discuss several key themes
of this era. Each student will present an oral report on one of
these subjects, and will prepare an extensive term paper (with
annotated bibliography) related to his/her report. There will
be no final exam.

FALL1988
THE UNITED STATES BETWEEN THE WARS
CONTENTS: No two decades since the Civil War in America contrast more
sharply in our minds than the 1920s and 1930s. The terms
"Jazz Age," Roaring 20s," and "New Era" evoke images of
comatose presidents and greedy businessmen, of shoeshine
boys making killings on Wall Street a;nd Al Capone making
killings of a different sort on Chicago streets, of rising skirts
and plunging morals among the nation's 'flaming youth," and
of pinch-faced traditionalists trying to spoil all the fun.
Those images are followed by others less vivid but somehow
more compelling: the Wail Street crash, speculators jumping
off the tops of skyscrapers, sullen breadlines, and then a
vibrant president at the helm of a benign federal government
that was feeding the hungry, housing the poor, saving the
farmers, and organizing the workers..
Unfortunately these images caricature the past more than
S
?
they portray it. Our task in this course is to search out the
complex realities behind these caricatures by exploring such
subjects as the business culture of the "New Era," the sexual
"liberation" of the middle class in the 1920s, the implications
of prohibition, the inception of the welfare state, the
organization of huge new industrial unions, and the New Deal's
experiment in patronage of the arts.
We shall meet once each week as a seminar to discuss these
and other topics. Each student will present an oral report on
one of these subjects, and will prepare an extensive term
paper (with annotated bibliography) related to his/her report.
There will be no final exam.

In 1983 when the Department of History changed the titles and
descriptions of History 482-3 and 483-3 we also intended to
drop the prerequisites for the two courses. When the appropriate
forms were completed, however, an error in notation was made.
As can be seen on the attached copies the word 'nil' was written
foilowing 'prerequisites'.
?
By this we meant there was to be no
prerequisite for either course. Unfortunately the notation was
taken to mean that no change was to be made in the existing pre-
requisites. We would now like to correct this error and replace
the existing prerequisites for History 482-3 and 483-3 with the
notations given on the attached course revision forms.
In addition we submit three further course change forms for
History 231-3, 344-3 and 346-3.
?
In each case we wish the pre-
requisite line deleted entirely. The instructor, Professor
Stigger, believes time has shown that the current notations
serve no useful purpose and deter otherwise qualified students
from enrolling in these courses.
