SYLLABUS OF THE BACKGROUND AND ISSUES OF THE WORLD WAR BY NORMAN MACLAREN TRENHOLME Professor of History and of the Teaching of History, University of Missouri. THE MISSOURI BOOK COMPANY COLUMBIA, MISSOURI. D B22.5 522.5 Copyright 1918 THE MISSOURI BOOK Co. Press of E. W. Stephens Publishing Co., BEQUEST OF A. L. CROSS 4-4-41 PREFACE. This Syllabus was prepared for the use of the Instructors and students in the War Aims or Issues of the War course in connection with the Student Army Training Corps work at the University of Missouri. Being prepared very hastily, the syllabus has, of course, some defects. The author assumes responsibility for all these. He wishes also to acknowledge his constant indebtedness to the text-books and outlines of recent European History and especially to the works by C. H. Hayes, C. D. Hazen, L. H. Holt and A. W. Chilton, and J. S. Schapiro. From all these he has borrowed freely for topic outlines and details. Much help has also been rendered by the author's colleagues who have done a great deal to make the Syllabus of more value to teachers and students. Mr. H. G. Brown of the Economics Department prepared sections I and III; Mr. Jonas Viles and Mr. F. F. Stephens of the History Department sections XXIII, XXIV; and Mr. J. E. Wrench of the History Department sections XIII, XXI, and XXII. Valuable assistance was rendered also by the members of the History Department in the preparation of the Reading References and of the Study Problems. September 30, 1918. NORMAN M. TRENHOLME |
