Arthur O. Lovejoy, one of the most eminent philosophers alive today and this year here as visiting instructor from Johns Hopkins, in an interview with a CRIMSON editor yesterday announced he plans to retire from active teaching this June.
Dr. Lovejoy has been Professor of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins 27 years. He has twice been visiting instructor at Harvard. In 1932 he was William James lecturer in philosophy. This year he has been giving two graduate courses, Philosophy 7, and Philosophy 20n.
