Abstract
THE autumn number of Humanitas, just issued, completes the second year of publication of this quarterly journal. Throughout its eight issues, Humanitas has maintained an admirably high standard. It is edited by a joint board of university students and teachers, under the chairmanship of Prof. M. Polanyi. Its contributors include Bertrand Russell, D. M. MacKinnon, C. V. Wedgwood, Sherwood Taylor, C. F. von Weizsäcker, Storm Jameson and Dorothy Emmet. In its scope it embraces the philosophy of science and history, and questions of religion and education. Its purpose is to awaken interest in the moral and social responsibilities of scholarship. The autumn number is notable because it contains a full text of the recent broadcast between Bertrand Russell and Father Copleston. Humanitas may be obtained from Dr. W. Schenk, University College, Exeter.
