ENGLISH SCHOLAR TO JOIN HARVARD STAFF

One of the most conspicuous scholars in Europe will be added to Harvard's Department of Philosophy when Professor Alfred North Whitehead of England becomes a member of the faculty next September.

Professor Whitehead has been a lecturer on Mathematics for 26 years at Trinity College, Cambridge, England, the college from which he graduated. In 1921 he served as dean of the faculty of science. Today he is a fellow of the Royal Society of England and also belongs to the School of English Realists of which Bertrand Russell and G. E. Moore are two of the most prominent members. In 1922 he was the first recipient of the James Scott prize offered by the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Among his publications are the "Principia Mathematica" in three volumes, "Principles of Relativity", and "The Principles of Natural Knowledge". In the last production he describes himself as a "Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Imperial College of Science and Technology."

Keenly Interested in Education

In addition to his interest in philosophy Professor Whitehead is much concerned in problems of education. When he gets to Harvard he will conduct two courses; the first being a lecture course on the philosophy of science, and the second a course of two seminaries, one on motaphysics and the other on logic.

In addition to Professor Whitehead, another celebrated Englishman will come to the University next fall, according to a recent announcement of he Board of Overseers. The Rt. Rev. Arthur Cayley Headlam, bishop of Gloucester and a professor of divinity at Oxford University, will act as William Beldes Noble Lecturer for next year.
