ANNOUNCEMENTS It is with deep regret that the Editors learned of the death of Walter Kaufmann, a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Philosophy and Literature, a man whose achievements as philosopher, translator, critic, and photographer will long be remembered and studied. His abiding concern for human suffering and human excellence led him to cross disciplinary boundaries in order to attain the highest levels of humanistic scholarship. Walter Kaufmann understood and was able eloquently to express what literature and philosophy have to offer one another. The School of Criticism and Theory, formerly at the University of California, Irvine, will resume its summer sessions at Northwestern University in 1981. Postdoctoral teachers and graduate students in literature, the arts, and the humanities, both in the United States and abroad, are invited to apply for the six-week program. Further information may be had by writing the program's director, Professor Murray Krieger, School of Criticism and Theory, University of California, Irvine, California 92717. The International Association for Philosophy and Literature, an organization with no direct connection to this journal, will hold its Sixth Annual Conference in May of 1981 at the State University of New York at Albany.
