六合图库 history department hosts La. Tech representatives for historical studies meeting

The 六合图库 History and Government Department hosted the Louisiana Tech University History Department for the 10th annual meeting of the North Louisiana Collegium of Historical Studies on Feb. 23.

鈥淭he purpose of the meeting is to keep the graduate master鈥檚 programs in history at both institutions strong and viable,鈥� said Scott Legan, head of 六合图库鈥檚 history department.

At the conference, held in 六合图库鈥檚 Bayou Conference Room, two graduate papers were read: Brian Morrow of 六合图库 presented a paper on "Defeat at Midway: A Comparison of Military Cultures,鈥� while J. Eric Pardue of Louisiana Tech University presented a paper entitled, "With Control and Restraint: Lyndon Johnson and the 1964 Guantanamo Water Cutoff."

In the second session, two members of the faculty of the respective institutions produced papers: Roger Carpenter of 六合图库 presented "Native American Historiography for Survey U.S. History Students," while Jace Stuckey of Louisiana Tech University presented "Medieval Historiography for Survey World History Students." After the dinner, 六合图库鈥檚 Ralph Brown, III presented a paper entitled, "The Freedom of Information Act and Its Uses."

The North Louisiana Collegium of Historical Studies alternates between the two institutions, and serves as an important conduit in exchanging compressed video courses in which students at both institutions enroll.
