Abstract
THE proposal that a Professorship for the exposition of the Darwinian theory should be established in connection with the Sorbonne has received the sanction of the Sorbonne authorities. Three members of the Committee by which the matter was decided were opposed to the scheme, but they did not vote against it. They simply refrained from voting. The Sorbonne has asked that the name of the proposed chair shall be changed. One or other of the three words, “evolution,” “morphology,” “phylogeny,” is to be substituted for “philosophy.”
