THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE OFFICERS OF INSTRUCTION HARRY PRATT JUDSON, A.M., LL.D., Professor of Comparative Politics and MILTON EARLY LOOMIS, A.B. VICTOR J. WEST, PH.B. FELLOWS, 1908-9 INTRODUCTORY Political Science, as treated in the University of Chicago, relates to the organization and working of the state. It covers the philosophy of the state, the structure and working of government, international law and diplomacy, and certain fundamental branches of municipal law. The courses are planned with two purposes: (1) to give such knowledge and training as it is believed should be a part of liberal education; and (2) to afford advanced work either for students of Law, or for those who need a knowledge of Political Science for other ends, whether for teaching, for journalism, or for the intelligence with regard to public affairs which should belong to an educated citizen. For advanced work, students will be expected (1) to have had the introductory course, or its equivalent; (2) to have a reading knowledge of French, German, and Latin; and (3) to be familiar with the outlines of general history and with the details of modern political history. English and American constitutional history, and the fundamental courses in the Departments of Political Economy and Sociology, are especially recommended. The Political Science Club meets bi-weekly for the discussion of special topics. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 1.
