  • Art, the Essential Historian by JOHN CANADAY
    NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES • VOLUME 3 NUMBER 2 • APRIL 1982 Humanities Art, the essential historian BY JOHN CANADAY I would like to know, sometime, why some people are spontaneously attracted to art—the visual arts especially— while others who have been conditioned by apparently the same circumstances are left either cold or puzzled by some­ thing that has interested me as far back as 1 can remember, fascinated me since adolescence, and enriched my adult life beyond measure—with no explanation that I can reach as to why it happened. In our close-knit family of eight, books were plentiful (my father's shelf included Dante, Samuel Johnson, and George Meredith) and our Kimball upright piano was subjected to constant abuse. But until 1 began bringing pictures into the house there were almost none, except for family photo­ graphs, on the walls. The only ones I can remember were a chromo of a German mountain scene with peasants (which 1 recognize in retrospect as having been in the manner of Ferdinand Waldmixller), a reproduction of an early Taos painting showing an Indian dipping water from a stream, and a tinted mezzotint of Gainsborough's Duchess of Devonshire, none of which explains why as a teen-ager I developed a passion for Holbein drawings without ever having been inside an art museum or having seen, so far as I can remember, any art books. I have no idea why, how, or exactly when this first love was generated, but I do know that art from that time until now has been an increasingly potent form of communication with the past and an enlarge­ ment of the world around me.

  • James M. Mcpherson George Henry Davis '86 Professor of American
    James M. McPherson George Henry Davis ‘86 Professor of American History Princeton University President 2003 Photo by: David Kelly Crow James McPherson: Historian in the Academy and in the World I first met Jim McPherson on a hot July day in 1986 on the Antietam battle field in Maryland. We were both participating in a British-produced television documentary on the Civil War, The Divided Union, which was designed, in part, to take the views of scholars to a wider audience. Meeting him in such a place and for such a purpose was particularly appropriate, perhaps, in view of Jim’s career and scholarly work. Of course, long before 1986 and Antietam, I already knew of Jim as a notable historian. Born in 1936 in Valley City, North Dakota, Jim received his BA degree from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, in 1958. He went on to Johns Hopkins University, where he studied with C. Vann Woodward and received the PhD in 1963. Appointed an instructor at Princeton University in 1962, he has remained on the faculty there ever since, rising through the ranks to become full professor in 1972. He is currently George Henry Davis ‘86 Professor of American History at the university. Jim began his career as a student of abolition and race. His first book, The Struggle for Equality: Abolitionists and the Negro in the Civil War and Reconstruction (Princeton University Press, 1964), made a signal contribution to the understanding of abolitionists’ attitudes toward race and their influence on both the cause of emancipation and the resulting thirteenth, fourteenth, and fif teenth amendments to the Constitution.

Rased upon a survey of over 100 introductory history teachers and conference discussions, it was determined that two sets of course guidelines for faculty were required, one for Western Civilization and one for World History courses, each divided into two semesters. In addition, the survey of teachers found several key isques, including a lack of commonality in the themes of Western and World History; a need for a practical alternative to courses emphasizinga superior Western cultvrci and a difference in conceptual approaches between Western Civilization and World History. The bulk of this report consists of course guidelines for the Western Civilization and World History courses. Separate guidelines are presented forthree approaches to teaching the courses: "Chronological,"a basic narrative, period-by-period course; "Sources," built aroundan intensive and interdisciplinary study of primarysources; and "Postholes," focusing on a close analysis of a few major historical periods.
