I hope you will think that this newsletter is a good start in keeping one another informed about how the MAHG is doing, how our students and faculty are fairing. I am delighted with the quality of our students and faculty, and take special delight in our unique and challenging curriculum. I am also happy to note that we are growing more rapidly than I had ever thought possible. All these things combined give me hope that our collective good work is not only a pleasure, but will have a lasting influence on the way American history and government is taught around the country.
