Whether you're a new or returning history student, welcome! This is the place to come for syllabi, class announcements, copies of exam questions, random musings from me, links of interest, anything that will help you make the most of class. I wish I had some grand, sweeping statement to make about this term, but just now I am fresh out of soaring rhetoric, so I will leave that for later...anyway, WELCOME!!
The image at left is the Arch of Triumph, which anchors the Champs-Elysees. the grandest of the grand boulevards in Paris. It was built to commemorate Napoleon's victories, but now is the final resting place of the French unknown soldier from World War I, and doleful tributes to those who fell in succeeding wars, which were uniformly disastrous.
