202 UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO STUDIES 



It will take a generation before the lasting influence of this new star 

 is felt as a general force in world-culture. 



Bergson has already published a book in the field of aesthetics 

 which has been received with great applause wherever philosophy- 

 is studied. Let us hope that this brilliant French professor will some 

 time give us his views upon what from his point of view must be a 

 closely contiguous field, that is to say, ethics. In the meantime it is 

 interesting to speculate as to what he may believe about human 

 conduct and the great social and political questions which are at 

 present agitating the progress of the elan vital. 



Note. — In a later number will appear a study of Duration which has been pre- 

 pared in the Department of Philosophy; and which aims at gathering together all that 

 Bergson has written on his central idea.
