NO. 10 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1930 PRICE FIVE CENTS SELLARS LECTURES' ON RECENT TRENDS, IN HUMANTHOUGHI Traces Early Greek Philosophy to Its Present Form as Systematic Science. NEW SCIENCES CONFLICT Modern Philosophy Movements, Stand of the Naturalist Included in Lecture. Prof.. Roy W. Sellars of the phil- osophy department addressed an audience which filled the Natural Science auditorium yesterday after- noon on the subject of "Present Movements in Philosophy." "Philosophy is very much alive today," said Professor S e 11l a r s . "There are developments in its field just as there are developments in the fields of the inorganic sci- ences. The word new' is often used~ in philosophy-as in new realism,' new idealism,' 'new romanticism,' and other terms. We are constant- ly gaining new perspectives on our existences.' Prof. Sellars defined philosophy as an attempt to reflect on the in- evitable problems which. confront mankind. In stating philosophy's relation to the other sciences, he maintained that it was supple- mentary to them, taking into con- sideration, as it does, the relation of the human to the material world. Names Three Branches "There are three branches of philosophy," he said, "the philoso- phy of. Knowledge, Metaphysics, and the Theory of Values." Philos- ophy of Knowledge, he went on to say, is the study of the manner of knowing things. Metaphysics, and more especialy ontology, he char- acterized as the "science of being- of what is real." The Theory of Values, he said included such things as the appreciation of the stand- ards of right and wrong, good and evil. Prof. Sellars traced the history of philosophy from its early Greek be- ginnings to its present form as a systematic science. From the Hel- lenic idealism and the neo-scholas- ticism of the Middle ages he fol- lowed it through the dualism of Descartes and the realism of Eng- land's Locke. Among the modern philosophical movements, Sellars discussed the revolt against romanticism by prag- m atisr, which was supported by Shiller, James, Dewey, and others, and the more recent variation, neo- pragmatism. He discussed these and other modern schools of neo-ideal- ists, naive realists, neo-realists, and naturalists on the basis of their' stand on the "nature of truth." The pragmatists, he said, believe that truth is "that which works," while the idealists preach that an object, In order to be existant and true, must be in relation to a mentality. Explains Common Sense View ' "(The naive realists," he said, "take what we might call the co- mon sense' point of view; that is, that being known or unknown to a mentality makes no difference to an object." From the contention of the neo- realists, such as Bertram Russel, that impressions are an act of the mind, he went on to the re- turn of naive realism in America under the theory that objects are "given to the brain" as it reacts to them, that a "collection of consci- ousness" is made by the mentality. Prof. Sellars continued by. eluci- dating the stand of the naturalists that man is a logical development of nature, and that of the critical realists as exemplified by Strong of Harvard, Rodgers of Yale, and Sel- lars himself.

Newspaper experience is CHAIRMAN HUSTON MEETS OPPONENTS G. 0. P. Leaders Defer Decision; Consider Action Rests on President Hoover. ALL AVOID OPEN BREAK (By Associated Press)1 WASHINGTON, July 10.-Unre- lenting, Claudius H. Huston went into a close conference today with the officers of the Republican Na- tional Committee who are demand- ing his immediate retirement as chairman. Informed Huston would fight, two of the officers consulted Presi- dent Hoover for half an hour be- fore the meeting. They were James Francis Burke, counsel of the com- mittee, and Joseph R. Nutt, the treasurer, both of whom are in- sisting on Huston's retirement. Determined to have it out, Hus- ton reached headquarters exactly at the appointed hour and silently led his disgruntled forces into the long committee room. Senator George H. Moses, of New Hamp- shire, who leads the party's sena- torial committee, appeared to be the only ally of the harassed chairman present. The leaders were divided on theI course to be taken. Many believe it is up to President Hoover to act. Othelrs want jo ;go ahead ;!and force a meeting of the executive committee to seek Huston's remov- al. "We will know soon what must be done," said Burke as he entered the session fresh from the White House. EAfter the committee had been in session a short time, photograph- ers were admitted to take a pic- ture. Efforts to have Huston go to see the President this morning failed. He was not asked directly, how- ever, to go to Mr. Hoover and the suggestion was ofered only as a wish by a mutual friend of the President and Huston. He was not caldto the White House. The President and Huston are friends of long standing. Huston was assistant Secretary of Com- merce when Hoover was the secre- tary. Sturgis Returns After Six WeekTour Abroad Dr. Cyrus C. Sturgis, of the de- partment of internal medicine and director of the Simpson Memorial institute, returned yesterday from a six-week tour of France, making the trip with more than 60 other prominent physicians from the United States and Canada. While in Paris the company was greeted by President Doumergue, at which time Dr. Sturgis was conferred with SENATORS MOOD' M0KELLARDEMAND IN EXTRASESIN! Hoover May Refuse Documents if Action Seems Harmful to Public Interest. PACT DISCUSSION NEXT~ Senator Copeland Holds Treaty Does Not Offer Parity or Relieve Tax Burden. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 10.-After three days of stirring debate, he Senate today adopted a modified McKellar resolution r eq uesting President Ho~overt to transmit to the Senate all correspondence bearing on the London Naval trea- ty exchanged between the powers prior to its negotiation. The vote was 53-4. As finally passed, the resolution would make the action of the President subject to whether hel felt it would be harmful to the pub- lic interest. This is the attitude assumed by Mr. Hoover when he refused to transmit to the Senate Foreign Relations committee all papers requested by it. Hoover's Action Uncertain. Opinion was divided tonight on whether the executive would ac- cede to the Senate's request. Some senators believed that he would stand by his original position. Oth- ers thought that he would produce the documents with the request that they be held in confidence. Disposition of the resolution cleared the way for resumption of debate on the treaty itself, al- l though Sen. Copeland, Dei., N. Y., fired the first gun for the treaty opposition today. Amendment Adopted, 38-17. The amendment to the McKel- lar resolution giving the president the right to withhold documents he considered too confidential was offered by Sen. Robinson of Ar- kansas the minority leader and the other senatorial delegate to Lon- don. It was adopted 38-14. Most of the treaty opponents were re- corded in the opposition on this vote. Those voting against the proposal on final adoption were Senaors Black, Ala., Copeland, N. Yand George and Harris, of Ga,, all Democrats. FOUR STARS LEFT IN TENNIS FINALS (Bys Assocated Press) IDETROIT, July 10.-Four players, two from Detroit and two from out- state, were the sole survivors Thurs- day night of a field of 97 players w ho started Sunday in quest of the IMichigan State championship at the Tennis club. The four survivors are all champ- ions and the list is headed by War- ren Byrum, Kalamazoo, defending title holder; George Reindel, city champion; Frank Donovan, former city champion; and William Irwin, who held that title at Grand Rap- ids last year. SThe quarter final matches in the men's singles produced some of the best tennis of the tournament. By- rum was given a harder run for his money than at any time during the meet by Horace Barton, former University of Michigan net man. However, the champion p u 11 e d through in straight sets 6-4, 7-5, keeping his record of not losing a set unbroken. Byrum played the steady, consistent game he has dis- played all week and in the second set demonstrated his ability to come from behind when Barton was leading at one time, 4-2.
