The Erosion of History.
Hickman, Warren L.
Social Education, v43 n1 p18-22 Jan 1979
Traces the development of undergraduate history courses at the university level. Notes that history has declined from a broad field of interest, which provided perspective to students majoring in other disciplines, to a field of increasing fragmentation and specialization. Contends that this reflects the interest of the faculty rather than student needs. (KC)
