Faculty Profile: by Bob Bonaker Interesting people doing interesting things: those are the subjects of our faculty profiles. Today’s notable personality is that world traveler and teacher, Dr. James McAree. Dr. McAree is the Head of the Capitol Campus Division of Social Sciences and he currently resides in Hershey. He was bom and raised in Victoria, British Columbia, the westernmost province of Canada. He described his hometown in the words of Rudyard Kipling, a onetime resident of Victoria: “Imagine a city built on top of the White Cliffs of Dover, surrounded by the Bay of Naples, with the Himalayas as a backdrop, a truly beautiful city.” He began his higher education at the University of British Columbia but received his B.A. from the University of Southern California. Dr. McAree also earned his M.A. at U.S.C. He then taught history at that school for two years. After his teaching stint he journeyed to Italy as a tourist. He loved the country so much, “that to justify my staying there for an extended period, I took a course at the University of Florence.” He then went to London to attend the Institute of History where he researched his field at that time: 17th century English history. While at the Institute, however, his main research interests shifted to British Imperial history, with an emphasis on India. He then returned to teach at U.S.C., but he hadn’t made any real progress toward earning his Ph.D. Consequently, Dr. McAree’s wife entered the picture. She “forced” her husband to try to obtain his Ph.D. so he enrolled in a doctorate program at the University of Minnesota. He finally gained it, with his thesis based on his previous interest of British imperial history in India. He then did some teaching in the state of Washington before coming to Capitol Campus. McAree was promoted to Social Science Dept. Head this past year. Dr. McAree has traveled all over the world. He has seen Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, been all over the Middle East, Africa, and most of Europe. He spent a great deal of time in Great Britain, France, and Scotland, the home of his ancesters. He also paid a brief visit to Ireland, which he termed “a sad country”. Along with his many duties as the Social Science Dept, he teaches history courses that focus on Africa, the Middle East, and India. He weaves his many travel experiences into his lectures; MARATHON f 1 D Tuesday 3an* 25 th Prizes!!!

McAree, Professor of Social Science and History. giving his students first hand information, and not dry text book conglomerations of hear-say. lii his travels he has had some absolutely horrifying experiences. Many of those experiences occurred in India where he witnessed the mass misery of that society. He saw people who could obtain nourishment only by scavenging through undigested food particles in human excretments. McAree viewed the sacrifice of 1,000 lambs for the god Cali which is recognizable to us the statue with a dagger poised in each of its 16 hands. He was in Egypt in 1952, arriving on the morning of the revolution which saw Nasser assume power. He was subsequently deported that same night, and it is fortunate that he was. The next day, the hotel in Cairo in which he had been staying was burned to the ground by revolutionaries, with everybody in it! In an interesting observance, Dr. McAree stated, “Students today aren’t really all that different from the students I first taught 22 years ago, it only seems that way to others. Today our students are more career oriented which is a change from the volatile decade of the 1960’5.” He sees that “The Kent St. and Jackson St. crises seemed to climax or wear out a whole decade of protest. Students are now turning to try to make needed reforms while working within the system. But these indications are not foolproof. I think student attitudes change greatly from year to year.” Dr. McAree says that, “I’m not one to give into ideological sensations of a kind. I tend to think of myself as a pragmatic man; adjusting to things as they are and not to what I’d like them to be.” But he did assert the philosophy which seems to be congruent with that of many of the faculty of Capitol Campus that, “You should enjoy whatever you’re doing wherever you are.” That’s Beside the Point or Shape of Things to Come by Samantha Bower So, you’re all back again, ready for a new term, equipped with new Bics and clean notebooks.
