The History Department is located in Fayerweather Hall, which is old and decrepit. Appropriately.
If you choose to major in history, your life will be ruled by a committee called the UNDED (yes, pronounced "undead"...seriously).
History of the History Dept.
The History Department was first formally formed in 1897 when seven faculty members split from the Political Science Department.

Courses frequently offered by the History Department:
- British History from 1867: Between Democracy and Empire
- Civil War and Reconstruction
