Sad to see the history department at my alma mater take this turn, but it almost seemed inevitable. When I went, the History Department and Civil War Institute were the crown jewels of the college. The Historical Methods Course, required of all undergrad history majors was one of the most feared and demanding courses on the campus. All of the history profs from my years there have retired and/or passed away; they were mostly all WWII vets. Admittedly the poli-sci department was a hot bed of leftists and there was little love lost between the two departments.

What I hear, Gettysberg is shrinking and barely surviving financially. There's a lot of that going around among progressive colleges, especially those who are derelict in keeping their founding faith. The old historic seminary building may well end up part of the Park sometime soon.

You are correct. I was there in 80’s and History Dept was top notch, Poli Sci infested with hard lefties who insulted Reagan at every opportunity.

Did you know Dr. Bruce Bugbee ?

No surprise about this, I can’t say I know much about the college per say, but I know that they heavily influence our school district and that there are 3 current/retired professors on our school board.
