For the first time ever,  at the close of the 2003-04 academic year the Manhattanville Department of History topped the century mark in terms of the number of majors.  History is now the third most populated major at the 'Ville.
 More people than ever have been joining
THE FEW,
THE PROUD,
THE LITERATE
.
And while we are not so few any more, we retain our traditional slogan out of respect for our past, which comes naturally to the historically-minded.
We also report
57 History minors, an important and honored  part of our community.
