were given by Professor Baldwin ("The Problem and Scope of Genetic Logic," read by title), Professor Fullerton ("A Proposed Reconciliation of Idealism and Realism,"—the realist must acknowledge that the world is a world of experience, the idealist that there is an objective order), Dr. Husik ("Dr. Neumark on Aristotle and Maimonides" a critical review of Neumark's discussion of matter, form, and motion in Aristotle), Mrs. Ladd-Franklin ("Epistemology and Psychology for the Logician," there is need to determine, if possible, a settled body of philosophical doctrine; in relation to the theory of truth, "histurgy," may be suggested, whose "watchword is that knowledge is a network"), Professor F. M. Urban ("Die psychophysischen Massmethoden,"), and Professor Armstrong ("The Evolution of Pragmatism," pragmatism is both integrating and differentiating, of late differentiation has been gaining ground).
The date for the next Congress was fixed for 1911, an interval of three, instead of the usual four years being selected in order that the meeting might synchronize with the session of the Mathematical Congress. Bologna was chosen as the place of meeting, and Professor F. Enriques as president.
