Welcome! A long, long time ago
in this galaxy, your prophet or savior appeared. Great monuments
were constructed. Empires rose and fell. Cunning statesmen
struggled for power, and you can climb on board your time machine and watch
it happen. Your time machine is what we call the study of history.
What do I teach?
What do I hope to accomplish? When a student has completed my course,
I hope they can read with love and discernment, and argue logically.
Their writing should be a more precise instrument than when they entered
the course.
