losophia ct Facultas Philosophical"
'Tke School of Philosophy" was the SUBJ
ject of an address by Rev E. A. Pace.
PhD., DID,, dean Of the faculty Of phil
losophy. DIR. Pace explained in his address
the purposes for which the Schooi OF PM
losophy is established Primarily 1t is IN
tended to afford means OF scientihc re
search in the several departments OF which
1t is composed, and thereby stimulate the
student to personal work. Another OF Its
features is that by combining the various
sciences in one school it facilitates the CO.
ordination of empirical data with the higher
principles of philosoohic speculation
1t is also in close relation with other &C.
uartments of TIE uniyersity-the schools of
divinity, of social science and OF mediclne-
irasmuch as it lays the foundation on
which these build. The training which IL
gives Ia an excellent preparation for tnose
who intend to become teachers in college,
as it renders them familiar with the latest
developments of science and enables them
to properly adjust the standard OF instruc-
ton. Finally the opening of this school IS
a practical carrying out of the popes al.
| monftion to Catholics that in every line OF
investigation they should strive TO take
the lead.
