 | | The Department of History is proud of a heritage that goes back more than one hundred years to the "New Auburn" of the 1880s. |
 | | Borrowing from the German seminar tradition, George Petrie invigorated the study of history at Auburn, focusing it on rational inquiry, research using primary documents, intense intellectual discourse, and a collective, collaborative approach to instruction. |
 | | As we move ahead in the twenty-first century we have extended the standards and goals that Petrie set for the department to encompass a more global approach to our discipline, while still striving for excellence in scholarship, teaching, service, and outreach. |
