Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 13, No. 16. July 27, 1950

[Introduction]

Dr. Duggan proposed to attribute the decline of Western civilisation to philosophy as taught in the Universities; to explain Scholasticism and briefly criticise the Philosophy syllabus at Victoria.

Having made it clear that his principal aim was not to defend Scholasticism nor to criticise the syllabus, it is necessary to remark that Dr. Duggan was, perhaps, over-ambitious and would have been wiser to confine himself to one of those aims. All three require more attention than one short lecture.
