For Undergraduates and Graduates.

Course 4C: The History of Philosophy: Course 1B, or 2B, or 3B prerequisite.
M. W. F., 10-11. Rotunda, S. E. This course is intended primarily
for those who wish to know something of the history of thought
and the influence which philosophical ideas have exerted in the development
of civilization. The lectures will give a general account of philosophical
speculation from its beginnings among the Greeks to the present time.
The endeavor will be made to present the various philosophical systems in
their relation to the science and general civilization of the ages to which
they belong, and to estimate their social and political significance. A
large part of the year will be devoted to the theories and problems of
modern times. Reading of texts and commentaries, lectures, discussions,
and essays. Professor Lefevre.

Course 5C: Social Psychology.—(Open to students who have
taken Courses 1B, 2B, and 3B, or their equivalents.) Hours to be arranged.
Rotunda, S. E. In this course, general psychological principles
will be applied to the study of the social relations of the self, and the
influences which determine feeling and action in the individual as a member
of the group, e. g. the sentiments of religious, political, and social crowds.
The attempt is made to approach social facts from the mental side. The
study of social consciousness, as involved in the genesis and growth of

social institutions; the psychology of education; the psychology of
religion; the psychology of adolescence; and the evolution of social consciousness
will engage the attention in this course. Professor Payne.
Reading of texts, lectures, discussions, and reports.

Text-Books.—To be announced.
