Phil. 4d and 5 are frequently taken by Government majors. In the first you read such men as the Russian revolutionaries, Spencer and Tolstoy. Lewis gives you some good ideas, but on the whole the course is not well organized and not what it should be. In the second, Hocking, as always, gives his own point of view.

Phil. 6 was Prall's famous course, and of course leaves a gap. However, Elsenberg will probably take over, and with Prall's outline, and his own competence, should do a sound job.

With Phil. 9 we come to another Hocking course, which as always means brilliant lectures, but ones difficult to follow. The course is again a personal interpretation of metaphysics, and should be taken as such: don't take it as a review on general Metaphysics.

Auer's Phil. 9a is too new to say any thing about, but Auer is a good lecturer, though frighteningly learned. You probably should be able to read French or German, or both.

In Phil. 10 Lewis moves into his medium. For this and his Kant course he is known. As usual, though, the lectures are slow and lack any pep-appeal. The reading is sound, interesting, but definitely difficult. And if you decide to learn all about Kant, and take Phil. 15, it is a good plan to have a few snap courses to go along with it. The course is absolutely grueling, with a paper every week. But you come out knowing Kant, and this is awfully handy on divisionals

Wild's Courses

Of Wild's courses, 11, 11a, 12, and 14e, it may be said with some uniformity that some like Wild, and some don't. But no one denies that he is stimulating. Each philosopher he teaches he feels he must defend, and his dogmatism if nothing else stirs people up. Also, he is an authority on Berkeley.

Demos' courses on Aristotie are concisely handled, and Demos, vital, clear, and interesting, is universally liked.

As for Williams on Hume, in Phil. 14c, the lectures are good and the course well organized. Williams is popular, and is regarded as one of the up and coming men of the department, and a sound knowledge of Hume is desirable for divisionals
