GILSON PLANS INSTITUTE OF MEDIEVAL STUDY AT TORONTO

Professor Etienne Gilson, exchange professor of philosophy from the University of Paris, announced recently just before returning to France that he is planning to organize an institute of medieval study at the University of Toronto. Professor Gilson will remain for the next six months at the University of Paris conducting courses in philosophy and then expects to develop the institute which will conduct research into the fields of medieval philosophy, literature, art, architecture, and political science.

For the last few years, Professor Gilson has been spending the first half year at Harvard and the second half at Paris, lecturing on medieval philosophy at both universities. It is expected that he will return to Cambridge next year to continue his courses.
