Extract

The initial event, in the series which led to the establishing of the Journal of Symbolic Logic and of the Association for Symbolic Logic, was a conversation early in 1934 between C. J. Ducasse and C. A. Baylis at Brown University in room 112, Rhode Island Hall. Ducasse, in the Graduate School at Harvard in 1911, had had work in Symbolic logic with Josiah Royce, and had become much impressed with the potential importance of the subject. Baylis, years before at the University of Washington, had been the outstanding student in the logic course Ducasse was conducting there, and eventually joined Ducasse on the staff of the Philosophy Department at Brown.
