Good morning, HISTORY CAN TEACH AND SERVE AS A GUIDE History provides important lessons and offers us the opportunity to see how others dealt with problems similar to our own. It also offers us the opportunity to learn from mistakes. There are experts around the world on nearly any period and event—great and minor—who can help us interpret the past and translate its lessons to today. As the number of college history majors continues to plummet (and, with it and fewer English majors, with a related decline in the ability to communicate), we may in the future find it more difficult to look to history for guidance.
