READING IN HISTORY 1 WILL UNDERGO CHANGES

Changes in reading assignments, map questions, and choices of collateral reading feature the 1932 schedule of History 1 in the new syllabus. Besides revisions in the actual essential weekly assignments from the familiar historians used for many years, as the books themselves testify, several of the historical works are hardly to be used at all this year, and other books substituted.

Robinson's "Introduction to the History of Western Europe" remains the official textbook and is used frequently in the first part of the course up to the Seventeenth Century. Robinson's "Readings" are still used likewise during the same period. Throughout the course from the Renaissance on, the "Political and Social History of Modern Europe" by Bayes is used more frequently than last year and is used regularly the last month of the course. Another important change is the discarding of the old blue-bound Hazen's "Modern European History," which was used almost exclusively for the early 19th Century part of the course. The textbook to be substituted for Hazen will be "Europe in the Nineteenth Century" by Grant and Temperley, and like Hazen it will be used exclusively for three weeks.
