III. THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE OFFICERS OF INSTRUCTION HARRY PRATT JUDSON, A.M., LL.D., Professor of Comparative Politics and Diplomacy, and Head of the Department of Political Science. ERNST FREUND, J.U.D., PH.D., Professor of Jurisprudence and Public Law. FELLOW, 1905-6 AUGUSTUS RAYMOND HATTON, PÅВ. INTRODUCTORY Political Science, as treated in the University of Chicago, relates to the organization and working of the state. It covers the philosophy of the state, the structure and working of government, international law and diplomacy, and certain fundamental branches of municipal law. The courses are planned with two purposes: (1) to give such knowledge and training as it is believed should be a part of liberal education; and (2) to afford advanced work either for those who desire to become students of Law, or for those who need a knowledge of Political Science for other ends, whether for teaching, for journalism, or for the intelligence with regard to public affairs which should belong to an educated citizen. The introductory course may be taken as an elective by students who have finished nine Majors in the Junior Colleges. For advanced work, students will be expected (1) to have had the introductory course, or its equivalent; (2) to have a reading knowledge of French, German and Latin; and (3) to be familiar with the outlines of general history, and with the details of modern political history. English and American constitutional history, and the fundamental courses in the Departments of Political Economy and Sociology, are especially recommended. Two Fellowships were given for the year 1904-5. Appointments are made in accordance with the general regulations of the University. The Departmental Library is in the Law School building, with the libraries of the Departments of Philosphy, Political Economy, History, and Sociology, and with the Law library. Attention is called to a complete set of United States documents, some 5,000 volumes, in the General Library of the University. The Chicago Public Library, the Crerar Library, and the Newberry Library afford much aid, and through the courtesy of the officers of the Chicago Law Institute, students have been able to use the valuable collection in that Library. The Club of Political Science meets bi-weekly for the discussion of topics of general interest. Such work as seems worthy of preservation and distribution will be published from time to time in a series of monographs. For the present it is intended that the series shall relate to the city of Chicago. Three monographs have thus far been published: The Constitution of the Argentine Republic. The Constitution of the United States of Brazil; with Historical Introduction and Notes by ELIZABETH WALLACE, Docent in Spanish and in Latin American Institutions in the University of Chicago.

INTRODUCTORY The undergraduate courses offered by the Department of History have been so arranged as to meet the needs, not only of the advanced work of the Department of History, but also of such other departments of the University as may require some preliminary training in history. In order to meet the bare requirements of the Bachelor's degree as prescribed by the curriculum, two outline courses in General History are provided for students of the Junior Colleges, one an outline of the Mediæval period of European History, and the other an outline of the Modern period. A third course, an outline of the History of the United States since 1765, with Courses 1 and 2, will provide one year of continuous work for the general student. These courses should be taken in the Junior Colleges and in order. The courses offered in the Senior Colleges are divided into five groups each group consisting of three Majors or one year's work, and are arranged as follows: Group A. Ancient Oriental and Classical History, from the beginning of civilization in Egypt and western Asia, to the age of the Antonines. Group B. The Development of Civilization in Continental Europe, from the decline of the ancient classical civilization to the beginning of the Reformation. Group C. The History of Modern Europe, from the Reformation to the close of the nineteenth century. Group D. The Constitutional and Political History of England. Group E. The Constitutional, Political and Social History of the United States. Of these groups it is recommended that students who propose to fit themselves for graduate work in History, instead of taking the Courses 1, 2, and 3, complete Group A in the second year of the Junior College, Group B in the first year of the Senior College, and Group C in the second year of the Senior College. Students who thus complete Groups A, B, and C, as undergraduate courses, may receive credit for Groups D and E as graduate work. It is further designed that Group A shall meet the needs of those students who intend to take up graduate work in the Semitic or Classical or related Departments: Groups A and B, the needs of those students who propose to enter the Divinity School; Groups B and C, those who enter the Romance or Germanic Departments; Group D, the English Department; Groups D and E, the Department of Political Science; Groups C, D and E, the Departments of Political Economy, or Sociology. |
