Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 10, No. 7. June 11, 1947

Philosophers and Others Please Note

Philosophers and Others Please Note

It has been decided to form a philosophical society in the College and all interested are invited to join. There will be two main lines of activity. First, the presentation of "papers" by various members of the staff, students, and outsiders; and, secondly, the carrying on of group activities centering round philosophical problems and philosophers themselves. The society's aim is not primarily to provide an open forum for "intellectual gymnastics" but rather: (i) through group activities to give students the stimulation to carry out reasonably detailed research and, (ii) at the same time provide a receptive audience for individuals in the community with philosophic inclinations.

It is not expected that the society will be functioning fully till next year. There will, however, be an inaugural meeting, and an introductory paper one evening in the mid-term break. At this meeting it is hoped to get the various group activities under way. Those who are interested in taking an active part in such a society should contact P. S. Wilson, C/o Weir House, or B. Sutton-Smith, Phone 55-965.
