Extract

Since publication of our account of the early history of the Association for Symbolic Logic in the September 1962 issue of its Journal, the fact has been called to our attention that — because much of the correspondence at that time is no longer available and we had therefore to depend on our memory — we failed to mention an important item of that early history.

This was a letter from Professor Paul Weiss to the Editor of Philosophy of Science, which appeared in the April, 1934, issue of that periodical. This letter, entitled “A Home for Logic,” called attention to the fact that papers on logic were scattered in heterogeneous periodicals, and suggested that the Philosophy of Science Association take under its wing the establishment of a Logical Association.
