PROFESSOR WEAVER.

Unity nd scope of the department: This department mbraces specifically hescience and philosophy of the state or society politically organized. But as thisdepends so essentially n organized ociety n general, the science and philosophy fsociety fall naturally within ts scope. Although the state springs logically fromorganized ociety, yet for he sake of clearness the theory f state is studied beforesociology; the atter, eing more complexand indefinite, emands more intellectualmaturity. Then follow he special phases of political science, viz., those of law andeconomics. It is believed,furthermore, hat nonie f these subjects hould be divorcedfrom thics, articularly hepractical part, which may be denominated ts art; and,

although history orms distinct department, hisdoes not mply hat ts vital impor-tance is overlooked n this department. On the contrary, t is emphasized t everystep, ince all social theory nd philosophymust be tested by historical ata properlyinterpreted. The historical-philosophic ethod s the only afeguard gainst deologyon the one hand and empiricism n the other.

Explanation and suggestion s to method: No special text-books re required.Particularly n sociological subjects he aboratory methodhas proven its superiority.Students re co-laborerswith he instructor n the investigation f specific ubjects.Too much help stunts he ntellect; it must rather e quickened to self-dependence.Syllabuses,when practicable, re utilized o supply bibliography nd unify lass work.A departmental ibrary, ontaining he best literature f the subjects taught, s placedat the fullest isposition f the student. Individual problems re assigned for pecialresearch, and co-operation n acquisition is utilized in class reports and theses.Instead of purchasing dditional text-books, he students ay fifty ents per term tothe department ibrary fund, from which over one hundred olumes re purchasedannually, o that very oonone of the best special libraries n the countrywill havebeen collected.
