A PROBLEM: Two History 114 courses
This course appeared in the Catalog until the 2014-2015
Hist 11 4 Early Modern Europe A survey of 16th-century European society, emphasizing social and political
changes brought about by widespread religious reforms. Attention is given to key religious figures, such as
Martin Luther, John Calvin and Theresa of Avila. This course will also explore cultural history, the impact of the
printing press, and the spread of capitalism. Offered in alternate years.
In 2013 Brother Charles as chair had the following course approved by the UEPC and Senate. It then replaced
the old Hist 114 by the Registrar. It also was put into the catalog and the other course was deleted.
114 Warfare in Medieval Europe A study of the broad developments of medieval warfare in its many aspects
including but not limited to the rules of warfare from terrorism to chivalry; the fate of noncombatants in
scorched-earth policy and siege warfare; technological and strategic developments; social classes; women and
warfare; infantry and cavalry; the moral cost of war; perceptions of the enemy; the warrior ethos; and
pacifism. Offered in alternate years.
Both courses have remained on the SMC website as seen here: http://www.stmarys-ca.edu/history/coursedescriptions
The History Department requests that the course early Modern Europe be reinstated in the Catalog and in the
Registrar’s office as Hist 121.
