Thaden, instructor in history, Thursday at the second session of the current Political Science Club lecture-discussions. Today, the historian is "more or less a “scientifically trained specialist” in a very narrow field of endeavor, he said, and is “deathly afraid of moralizing” to any degree. But, the historian is. shirking his duty, he continued, when he fails to perform his role as “con server of the cultural values based on sound reasoning.” Thus, the historian should be conservative, but in the best sense of the word. “He should- make a point of indicating incidents of "wanton insolence’ and variations from the moral code, and should ooint to the distasters” that befell rulers .of the past, Thaden ex plained, when this happened in the past. Direction to Future Any significant historical study of the past aims to influence the present and to give direction to the future, Thaden maintained. Since this has not been followed, he said, there have been only a very few important histories writ ten since 1850. The influence of Christian eth ics on the development of western history is very evident, he added. In. fact, western history as a whole' has been rather peaceful under the restraining hand of Judeo-Christian ethics, as com pared to the Greco-Roman-Medi eval period, Thaden claimed. St. Augustine approached the riddle of history, Thaden con tinued, by asserting that divine providence was the determining factor, and that a state or em pire continued : great only when it was relatively virtuous. Ethic Part of Power Of course, Thaden explained, Oswald Spengler, the profound German historian, considered a code of ethics as an element of power, and completely negated conventional ethics as a brake on power. Meinecke, a modern historian, recognizes the need for the his torian to make value judgments, Thaden continued, and supports the claim that the study of history is a search for the reason for the existence of the state, or why the state should exist at all. Circle K to Meet Circle K will hold an organiza tional meeting, 6:30 p.m. tomor row at Delta Chi.
