Crack In Foundation


I recently bought a house and I noticed a thin crack in the foundation. Inside and out. About 2 feet long. Does not seem to be any type of a problem now. What should I do to treat this crack so that it does not get larger or cause a problem in the future.

Should I just put concert caulk over it? Or is this a better perventative messures. The house was built in 1953.
