...blame stands a light and airy dining hall with a stage at one end filled with white formica table tops and chairs. "I think it's sensational," Shirley K. Broner, assistant to the Master for South House, says. To inaugurate the addition for social purposes, South House plans to hold a Quadrangle Quadrille on September 30. The University, it seems, has succeeded in enhancing the quality of life at South House, but it may well have mistreated the minority contractor responsible for that improvement. It remains to be seen if the Cruz Construction Company can iron out its differences with...

For better or worse, he writes, philosophers have made the modern world: "If there had not been those early Greek thinkers who created philosophy, there would be no atomic bombs." Barrett's narrative of the stages in between is highly speculative. But his hold on elusive ideas is so sure, his erudition so vast and effortless, that a coherent historical design gradually emerges: Aristotle's invention of logic culminated in the scientific discoveries of Kepler, Copernicus and Galileo in the 16th and 17th centuries, and, two centuries later, in the Nietzschean quest...
