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;

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.”

So, you’re all back again,
ready for a new term, equipped
with new Bics and clean
notebooks. Most of the people I
know will be working at school
for the last time. Seniors just
don’t work Spring. I know I’ll be
getting ready to back-pack it out
of here. Me and my dog. Yeah—a
dog. A big dog with lots of hair
and legs. Someone to keep me
company on the back roads of
Ohio, along the rivers of British
Columbia, the Colorado
Mountains. I can see us running
through the high grasses of lowa.
Man, I can’t wait sometimes.
