Modern Historians
Face Crisis—Thaden
If the modern historian performs the duties of a true historian*
he faces an ethical dilemma today, declared Edward C. 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. John Lyon, act
ing chairman, said the club is
open to former Key Clubbers and
all interested persons.
students at the University. They
are Miss Thomas and Dorothy
■Robb.
Helene Steinbuchel, a graduate
student sent by the national office
of Pi Beta Phi to colonize, served
as president of the group last
year. Margaret Scott is the grad
uate student adviser this year.
The State College alumnae club
was formed to supervise the pro
gress of the colony toward instal
lation in the national sorority.
Colonization was proposed at
the national convention of Pi Beta
Phi held in Fort Worth, Texas,
the summer of 1952.
