If to study history is merely to study the past, many may question its value. Events are intricately interrelated with man and his culture, with other events, preceding and succeeding. Knowledge of the past can give man understanding of his present and insight into his future. By conceiving history as a constant stream, a series of trends, one can intelligently evaluate his particular age as an integral part of the stream. In viewing history as a record of the problems and struggles encountered in men's eternal efforts to live together in harmony, one becomes aware of his broader social relationships and respon- sibilities as a world citizen.
