They may reflect inadequate previous training or merely a bad start. In such cases in- dividual help of the kind that seeks to find and remove causes as well as to teach subject matter is often most desirable. It is this kind of tutoring that we aim to give. To this end we have tutors who add personal interest to the requisite scholarship and teaching experience. Needed tutoring taken early in the term not only assists with current work but gives a better basis for future work.

    1 MALS 78500/ HIST 71000/ PSC 71902 Comparative Revolutions: From 1688 to the Arab 3 credits, Monday, 4:15 PM - 6:15 PM Professor Helena Rosenblatt [email protected] Office Hours: Skype/Zoom by appointment DRAFT: MINOR CHANGES MAY BE MADE Course Description What makes a revolution a revolution? Scholarship has recently moved away from social- scientific, Marxist-inspired explanations to approaches that explore how revolutionaries themselves understood what they were doing, how they interpreted their contexts, and how their ideas shaped their actions. With such questions in mind, we will look at and compare a number of revolutions, including the so-called “Glorious Revolution” of 1688, the American, French and Haitian Revolutions, the Revolutions of 1848, the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the recent Arab Spring. What characterics did these revolutions share? What mught they have learned and borrowed from each other? Is there something we can call a revolutionary “script”? Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to • Display a grasp of the key theoretical questions involved in comparing “revolutions” • Read texts critically and effectively • Identify and summarize ideas in texts in an articulate and persuasive manner, verbally and in writing • Display a grasp of the history of the revolutions studied over the course of the term. Requirements: • Regular class participation demonstrating careful reading of all assigned texts: 30% • One to two paragraph summaries of the weekly readings, paying particular attention to the argument of the author as to the nature and/or course of the revolution in question. Paragraphs must be submitted to the class and instructor via email before 8 pm on the Sunday before class (TEN times over the course of the term)—your grade will be outstanding, very good, good, deficient.

  • From Universal History to World History Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) and the Shaping of New Historical Paradigms
    From Universal History to World History Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) and the Shaping of New Historical Paradigms FILIPPO CHIOCCHETTI Università del Piemonte Orientale Universal History in the twentieth century is especially related to the figure of Arnold J. Toynbee (1889-1975), the historian-turned-prophet who devised a complex and fascinating interpretation of the civilizational process. He was since 1925 professor of History of International Relations at the London School of Economics and director of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. His name is associated to A Study of History, a monumental work of immense erudition that explains the evolution of civilizations through the concept of ‘challenge and response’.1 Immediately after the Second World War the echo of Toynbee’s work was particularly intense and the abridged version of his magnum opus turned out to be a bestseller, especially in the United States where it was published in 1947 with much fanfare and the support of Henry Luce, owner of Time magazine.2 However, this enormous success did not guarantee his author a significant place in the historiographical landscape of the following decades. Throughout the 1950s, reactions ranged from positive feedbacks to very harsh criticisms: as the latter prevailed, his work was almost completely marginalized.3 It should be remembered that William H. McNeill, Toynbee’s ancient disciple as well as fine historian of his own, paved the way to a reconsideration by publishing his biography in 1989; but in spite of this partial renewal of interest, Toynbee still remains a minor figure in modern historiography.4 We can therefore say that an initial interest quickly reversed in an estranged relationship between the British scholar and his fellow historians: as soon as in the early 1960s, not only his work but Universal History on the whole was generally at a low ebb, also in the United States.

Western Line /^/7 99 'T^sro National Parks in T^vo Week Dear Reader For seventeen years, the Chicago, Union Pacific & North Western Line has successfully directed the vacation travel of tens of thousands of the American people. This bureau is managed by men who give all of their time to the solution of tourist problems. We are wholesalers in travel service. Our big purchasing power buys the best of everything. Hotels, resorts and transportation companies leave nothing undone to supply our escorted tours with the degree of high-class service demanded by this organization. The two weeks Vacation Tours for 1917, herewith presented, have been produced by the best thought of trained, experienced minds. Moreover, these tours are to be sold at cost. Our department does not work for profit; it sells service, safety and scenery at a "priced- at-cost" rate. This season we offer "Two National Parks in two weeks," featuring the wonderful Yellowstone and the splendid new Rocky Mountain (Estes) National Park. Five days in the former and two and one-half days in the latter, with side excursions into Utah and out from Denver, make up, with the train travel, what I believe to be the best two weeks vacation trip in America. Another important point: We have chosen the fast and direct rail routes in order to avoid the tedium of any unnecessary train travel.
