Department of Philosophy Pamphlet.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The pamphlet of the Department of Philosophy for 1900-01 contains the announcement of several changes in the list of courses and instructors.

Ralph Barton Perry, Ph.D., who has been appointed "Austin Teaching Fellow," will give Philosophy 8 2 in place of Professor Palmer. Dr. Bierwirth, instructor in German, has been made a member of the Department of Education and will conduct a new course, Education 10B, on the methods and equipment of a teacher of German in the secondary schools. Among the subjects to be treated in the lectures and discussions are the following: the choice of text-books; the annotation of texts; the teachers' sources of information; and the disciplinary and practical value of the study of German and its relation to the study of English.

Professor Royce offers a new course, Philosophy 15, on the Theory of Knowledge, which is intended only for students who have had some previous training in elementary logic. Philosophy 1A will be conducted during the second half year by Dr. Miller, instead of by Prof. Royce. Assistant Professor Santayana will have charge of a new course in research devoted to the study of Aristotle's Metaphysics. The following courses in other departments have been added to the list of courses which may be counted for honors in Philosophy: Classical Philology 27 2--Aristotle; Greek 13 1--Plato; Latin 8 2 -- Lucretius; German 9 1--German Literature in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
