What the college says
What is the most important thing you ever study? People. History is about people: what they do and why, how others react to them and how their actions impact upon others. It?s about how they communicate their ideas and how that brings about a reaction; it?s about how we understand the ideas of others. In the end, it?s about how we ? as individuals, as a country and as a species ? have got to where we are now. History can only attempt to reconstruct the parts of the past ? but some interesting and important parts!
