SCIENCE 



[N. S. Vol. XXXIX. No. 



New Members of the Executive Committee — • 

 Professors W. T. Bush, of Columbia University; 

 I. W. Eiley, of Vassar College, and C. M. Bake- 

 well, of Yale University. 



The program was of exceptional interest this 

 year, in that two days' sessions were devoted to 

 the discussion of one subject, "The Problem of 

 Values in its Various Aspects. ' ' Miscellaneous 

 papers were read on this subject at the first day's 

 sessions, and the entire second day was devoted to 

 discussion. The leaders in this debate were Pro- 

 fessor E. B. Perry, of Harvard University, and 

 Professor W. H. Sheldon, of Dartmouth College. 

 The association, on the whole, found this proced- 

 ure more profitable than the usual short discussions 

 of many miscellaneous papers. A joint discussion 

 was also held with the American Psychological 

 Association on "The Standpoint and Method of 

 Psychology. ' ' Leaders in this discussion were Pro- 

 fessor John Dewey, Professor F. M. Urban, Pro- 

 fessor J. E. Creighton and Professor Hugo Miin- 

 sterberg. The two associations participated in a 

 joint dinner on December 30 at the Hotel Taft, 

 and Professor Howard C. Warren, of Princeton 

 University, president of the Psychological Associa- 

 tion, read on this occasion an extremely interest- 

 ing address on ' ' The Physical and the Mental. ' ' 



President McGilvary, of Wisconsin, addressed 

 the two associations on December 29 on "Time 

 and the Experience of Time."
