“The Philosophic Relevance Of Logic’’
Is Stressed In Lecture By H. Leblanc

ELY ROOM, JAN. 16.—The fact
that logic is a part of philosophy
and that logic can and should do a
great. deal for many branches or
parts of philosophy was maintain-
ed by Hugues Leblanc in his lec-
ture, The Philosophic Relevance of
Logic, delivered to members of the
Philosophy Club.

The two main purposes of logic
are to construct standardized lan-
guages and to formulate various
rules for carrying out infererices

of inductive and deductive-natures. [

Mr. Leblane feels that both. of
these functions are applicable be-
yond the confines of mathematics.

Every-day language, and the
languages of ethics, aesthetics,
metaphysics and epistemology, and
the various sciences have nothing
to lose and much to gain from a
process of formalization.* At pres-
ent, they are irregular and ambig-
uous. They would be more clear if
(a) the vocabulary of the language
were set up in terms of a certain
number of primitive terms, with
all other words introduced. as
terms defined by means of these
primitive terms; and’ (b) the gram-
mar of the language were stated,
in order that it might be perfectly
clear which statements are logical-
ly meaningful and which are not.

The formulation of rules of in-
ference is becoming increasingly
important in the sciences, where
observation must be supplemented
by induction and deduction. ©

Parenthetically, Mr. Leblane
spoke out against confining the
study»of philosophy to the study
of the history of philosophy. He
feels that the value of the history
of philosophy is over-emphasized,
in view of his belief that problems
change and solutions to past prob-
lems have little applicability to to-
day’s dilemmas.

A liyely discussion, in which
the philosophic validity of Mr. Le-
blane’s contentions concerning the
formalization of philosophic lan-

guages and the value of a histor-
ical approach to -philosophy were
seriously questioned, followed the
lecture.

Denbigh Will Hold
Annual Hall Dance

Denbigh Hall’s annual March
Opeéh House will take place at an
earlier time this year. Feeling that
all concerned would derive greater
benefits if the dance were held in
the beginning of the second sem-

ester instead of in the middle, the
Hall has set the night of February
10 as the date for the dance.

Denbigh’s dance last year at-
tracted over 150 men from all col-
leges in the area.

This year’s event will follow the
same-pattern: that of a stag dance
with refreshments, theme and en-
tertainment, It will last from 9:30
p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The theme de-
cided upon is “Queen of Hearts’.
Lynne Sherrerd is in charge.

The week following the Denbigh
Open House will be the date of
the traditional
week-end... Plans for the formal
dance that takes place after the
show on Saturday night include en-
tertainment by the Yale Augment-
ed Seven and music by Eddie
Clauson’s band. The dance will be

2;

There are also rumors that the
formal dance held after the Maids
and Porters Show in April, will de-
viate from the traditional pattern.
Home talent will be searched for
as entertainment, instead of turn-
ing to the-outside.



Freshman Show

held on February 18 from 10 till
