Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn has accepted a post in the department of Philosophy of the University of Wisconsin. He will commence work at the University at the beginning of the second semester.
In a statement President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin said:
"Dr. Meiklejohn is one of the great and gifted teachers of this generation. His philosophical studies have been enriched by fruitful contacts with cativities outside the boundaries of his special subject. I think Wiseonsin is to be congratulated on Mr. Meikllejohn's appointment. From him we expect productive scholarship and provocative teaching."
