History is also one of the broadest and most universal of the humanities. Just as the personalities of individuals are shaped through the totality of their past experiences, so cultures and institutions also develop in time. The study of history can help students understand themselves and their culture better and develop a more tolerant and humane spirit toward others. In this way, as in so many others, a knowledge of the past can help all of us meet the problems of today with greater understanding and compassion. History majors are trained to read with comprehension and to compare and analyze both written and oral material. In addition, they must know how to evaluate evidence and sources, how to critique the writing of others, and how to do research and write on their own.
