Cohen to the Philosophy de¬partment, announced by the adminis¬tration yesterday, is significant notonly because it gives the Universitywhat is probably the outstanding de¬partment of philosophy in the countrybut also because of the past historyof the department.Present day students perhaps haveheard vague rumors about the con¬troversies between the administrationand the philosophy faculty in pastyears and the appointment of a maniike Cohen to the department is sureto bring them to the surface again.Mehind the rumors lie an interestingstory.« * «.S»>me 40 years ago, Piesident Har-poi brought to Chicago a number ofbright young philosophers, including.lohn Dewey, who after acquiringdistinction went East. Some, however,-uch as .lames Hayden Tufts, GeorgeHerlRTt Mead and Edward ScribnerAmes, did remain, and when Presi¬dent Hutchins came to Chicago eightyears ago they were the nucleus of astrong Philo.sophy department..As nearly as can be ascertained,Hutchins, a little later, suggestedbringing Mortimer Adler into the de¬partment. The philosophy faculty,however, refused to agree to thispartly because of fundamental phil¬osophical differences and^ partly be¬cause the various departments andnot the administration are supposedto propose new professors. As a re-."ult of the controversy these threemen resigned from the staff (Meadlater dying of a broken heart becauseof the affair, it is said) and when asurvey of .American universities waspublished in the Atlantic Monthlyseveral years ago, the Philosophy de¬partment was one of the two depart¬ments at Chicago rated as undis¬tinguished.* * i»Since that time the administrationhas brought a flock of famous phil¬osophers here. Adler, famous for hisdogmatism, was finally added to theUniversity faculty, not in Philosophybut in the I..aw School. There hassince been a continuous intellectualcontroversy between Hutchins, Adlerand a ftnv others on one side, and anumber of the social scientists, ofwhom Profes.sor Gideonse is perhapsmost outspoken on the other.t)ther and more important mencame to the University: Rudolf Car¬nap, a logical positivist and one ofthe most distinguished philosophersin the country; and Richard P. Mc-Keon whose interest is primarily inmedieval and classical philosophyand more particularly in Aristotle,and who is popularly considered asbelonging to a limited extent to theHutchins-Adler school of thought.♦ • *The appointment of Professor Co¬hen is particularly interesting in thatit adds a man distinguished especial¬ly for his work in the study of socialsciences.

Appointment of Morris RaphaelCohen, one of the foremost contemp¬orary American philosophers as pro¬fessor of Philosophy at the Univer¬sity was announced yesterday byPresident Robert M. Hutchins. Pro¬fessor Cohen has for 35 years beena teacher of mathematics and philoso¬phy at the College of the City ofNew York.Distinguished in the fields of phil¬osophy of law and logic. ProfessorCohen will devote a considerableportion of his time at the Universityto research and writing but will givecourses each Spring quarter. Thisyear he will conduct a seminar onlogical theory and in 1939 will be incharge of a seminar on social philoso¬phy. He was a visiting professor atthe University in the summer of1923.Born in Minsk, Russia, July 25,1880, he was brought to the UnitedStates when 12 years old. He receiveda B. S. degree from the College ofthe City of New York in 1900 and aPh. D. from Harvard in 1906. AtHarvard he roomed with Felix Frank¬furter, noted law professor, and hadas teachers William James and JosiahRoyce.Two of his books, “Law and theSocial Order” and “Rea.son and Na¬ture,” are landmai’ks in philosophy.He has been characterized by HaroldJ.

These students re¬ceive an ironical smile and their diplomas fromthe President, and become graduates of theUniversity. The University thereby assertsthat they have acquired something, presumablysomething equivalent in the various depart¬ments and something important.Actually this is so far from the case as tobe pitiful in the mere statement. Graduates ofdifferent departments have little if anything incommon, and much of what they have is oftrivial importance for anything apart from aparticular profession. Thus, graduates of theSocial Science division generally have acquireda few important ideas, a little information, anda lot of language- Graduates of the Humani¬ties division hav’e a training either in tech¬niques—all the language students—or in his¬tory of various sorts—they know things^ thathave happened, whether in politics, art, litera¬ture or thought. Graduates of the two divi¬sions devoted to natural science have a moreor less adequate training in the techniques oftheir specialty and a more or less satisfactoryunderstanding of the principles of their science.Those who have learned techniques haveoften worked on trivial material; those whohave acquired information in history, have of¬ten done so indiscriminately and blindly; thosewho have acquired some knowledge of princi¬ples, have often done so only partially.The subject matters of the various depart¬ments are thus haphazardly related. What ismore, the requirements for a Bachelor’s degreeare far stiffer, represent more hours of work,in some departments and divisions than inothers. Social science is notorious for the num¬ber of snap courses it offers. Teachers enveloptheir generalizations in a mass of verbiage, andfill the gaps the rudimentary state of serialscience thrusts upon them with reading periodsand indiscriminate information brought in asillustration. The reading period, instituted afew years ago, is virtually a confession thatmost social science courses did not have enoughto say to fill the normal amount of lecture time.By contrast, many natural science courses meetfive times a week.But, say the optimistic, there is a ballast ofintellectual community among the graduates ofthe University, guaranteed by the surveycourses. To the realist, who knows how easy itis to scrape by any of those courses, this argu¬ment holds little hope.

Parker, assistantprofessor in the teaching of Geo¬graphy who recently returned from atwo and a half month vacation inMuenster, Germany. * Significant, itseems to me, were evidences of re¬sults accomplished by the presentgovernment’s drive for self-suffi¬ciency. As a geographer, although Idid not represent the University, butpurely on a basis of personal interest,I observed the attempts at con¬verting heath lands into arablefields, the radio lectures to aid peo¬ple in comprehending thrift methodsin conserving fuel, and the new meth¬ods employed in manufacturing clothfrom wood-pulp.”Cities Adopt Needy TownsAn example of the new regime’spolicy to promote prosperity is evi¬denced in the guardianships under¬taken by larger cities to protectsmaller ones whose finances are low.Muenster adopted a town which, be¬cause it devotes itself entirely toproduction of wine, has a distributionproblem. One-crop cities illustrate afallacy in American understandingof Germany. “Ordinary Americans,”stated Miss Parker, “are apt to neg¬lect the immense diversity in typesof lands, people, resources, and in¬terests, which makes democracy dif¬ficult and unification largely govern¬mental.”I'niversities .Add GeographyInterest in geography has ex¬panded rapidly in the curricula ofGerman universities. In the Uni¬versity of Muenster, which is locatedElect Dimock toEditorial Board ofPolitical Magazine in Westphalen near the Buhr, an en¬tire department has been created.“Muenster itself,” Miss Parker said,“is a unique type of German city,because of its age and distinctivebuildings.” Although her trip wasnot primarily for that purpose, sheintends to incorporate informationgleaned from her trip in the com¬pilation of a volume on the techniqueof teaching geography.The second outstanding feature wasthe great dependability and integrityof the merchants, who declared thevalue of their goods and displayedthem, conspicuously labeled for whatthey were. Courtesy and hospitalityto the American citizen, as longas the complicated regulations areregarded, such as not taking Germanmoney out of the country, are com¬mon practice.“Because I am not a political scien¬tist,” smiled Miss Parker, “I can notformulate an opinion on the politi¬cal situation. Speaking as a geogra¬pher, I would say that more has beendone recently to improve the land andthe living, for housing projects andold age pensions receive more atten¬tion there than here.”Elected to the editorial board ofthe American Political Science Re¬view, Marshall E.

DOROHESTER 4800DTHE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1938Page FourDAILY MAROON SPORTSWater Polo TeamJoins Association;Battles GriffithMaroons Join City GroupAs Only UniversityMember.Swimming coach Ed McGillivrayyesterday announced that the Uni¬versity water polo team had joinedThe Chicago Water Polo Association.The Maroon splashmen will play theirfirst game w’ith an association oppon¬ent next Thursday night at eighto’clock, when they meet the Griffithteam in the latter’s natatorium.Chicago is the only universityrepresented in the association thisyear. Last season Northwestern wasamong the fifteen members.The league has gained greatly inpopularity during its two years ofexistence. This season former collegepolo players are competing on amajority of its fifteen teams. Thesesquads are divided into three sec¬tions. At the end of the season win¬ners from all sections meet to deter¬mine the champion of the associa-•tion, who will represent it in the Na¬tional A. A. U. water polo meet. Chi¬cago’s membership in the League willenable the tank team to play manymore games than they have duringprevious seasons, and the practiceshould strengthen them so they maymore ably defend their Big Tenchampionship.McGillivray is still searching fordivers for his swimming team, andwants to see any boys who aspire torepresent the University o n thespring board immediately.

Vorres when ques¬tioned as to the wrestling team’schances against Purdue Saturday.“We still lack heavyweight men,’’ hedeclared.“In the Wheaton meet held hereseveral weeks ago,’’ he continued, “wewere forced to substitute a 147 poundwrestler for a 180 pounder. If mat¬ters continue in this light, chances fora successful season are slim.’’Myers Leads ReseneTeam to Easy VictoryAgainst Bank Quintetl-M Cage SeasonOpens Next WeekIntramural basketball competitionwill get under way Tuesday when thefraternities open play. Marty Miller,student I-M manager of basketball,announced yesterday that fraternityteams must get their entries in atthe Intramural office in Bartlett byJanuary 8, and the independents byJanuary 15.There will be A, B and C sections,the latter two for organizations thatwish to enter more than one team.Each section will have a fraternity,dormitory and independent division.The non-fraternity teams will beginplay January 18. Miller especiallyurged independent players to organ¬ize teams and enter the meet. With the aid of Remy Myer’s 29points, the reserve cagers swampedthe First National Bank squad 62-22in a practice game in the fieldhouse ilast night after a scrambling first ■half which ended with the score 25-12.1Though the Maroons showed a |glaring lack of coordination and \teamwork, coaches were particularlypleased with the showing of Myers,who flipped in 14 baskets, most ofthem from near the basket and onfollow shots; and with the work ofHoward Isaacson, sophomore guardwho’ll play some real ball with alittle more practice.Despite the prosperous pre-seasonrecord of the Maroon quintet. Bas¬ketball Coach Nelson Norgren refusedyesterday to become optimistic overthe team’s chances for a win in itsConference opener Saturday againstPurdue.Norgren is convinced that theUniversity cagers are going to playrenl basketball this year, and beatsome top-flight Big Ten teams, butthe squad that will come up fromLafayette Saturday is one of thehighest scoring groups in the country,and the small Maroon squad is goingto find its hands very, very full.The Purdue players are all fast,and all good shots, and they playa fast breaking, wide-open type game.Refusing to play defensive ball, theyforce their opponents to try to matchtheir storm troop tactics shot forshot. As a result, all their gamesthis season have had high scores. This year the team has a scheduleof 14 meets, a few of which are withnon Big Ten colleges. According toCoach Vorres, however, these meetsare just as important to the partici¬pants as the Big Ten combats.For the coming season the team hasscheduled to travel throughout thesouth and near southwest. Next yearthe squad will fill out a schedule moreto the liking of everyone concerned.Pennsylvania, New York, New Jer¬sey, VVest Virginia, Ohio and Wiscon¬sin are states which the team of 1939will visit.Probably the longest trip evermade by the squad was a 10 dayaffair in the east several years ago.Arriving in Cleveland by auto, thesquad disembarked, washed, and thenalmost immediately piled back intothe cars again. From Cleveland they went to Washington, D.C. The stran¬glers viewed the capitol by day andthe great white way of New York bynight. Then back to Chicago.Before they could shake the dustof travel from cruel collars they werehustled onto the train and up to Mad¬ison where they struggled againstWisconsin.Coach Vorres prefers to travel easton team trips. “On one trip east wereceived a $1200 dollar guarantee fortusseling with three colleges beforea total of 12,000 people. In the eastthey go for the sport in a big way,’’he concluded with a light sigh. the minds of some of the members.It is hoped that a group of men whoseprimary interest is in some otherdepartment but who are also inter¬ested in the philosophies of theirrespective fields of study, may be in¬duced to spend half of their time inthe philosophy department. Thus,some of the University’s noted scien¬tists might give classics in the phil¬osophy of science. Nothing of thesort has even been done and if theUniversity could build up a group of20 or 30 such men, Chicago wouldbecome the center of the world’sphilosophic thought.and there(Continued from page 1)nearest competitor is Harvard whosereputation rests largely on ProfessorWhitehead, who is an old man andimportant chiefly because of his pastwork rather than what he is doingnow’, and on other students of sym¬bolic logic.How far is the University going togo in building up the department?One suggestion—perhaps dreamw’ould be more accurate—has been in Wed. & Thurs..
