Notes, topics or text

BR writes on the CCNY courses he would like to give, and those he would not, in reply to Wiener's letter of March 9 (record 46446). The latter include "Philosophy and Its Relations to the Sciences". [That sounds like the 3rd course that Kallen, The Bertrand Russell Case, p. 19, says BR was to give.] Mead has told journalists that BR is to teach logic: "I wish it were true. To me it seems odd that there should be a course (24b) on me, when I am on the spot."

BR suggests his UCLA course, "Philosophical Ideas in Practice", and one on "Theory of Knowledge". [Weidlich, Appointment Denied, p. 13, is not definitive on what BR was to teach.]
