Contributions Needed for Royce Papers Indexing Project!
We greatly appreciate your contribution to support Frank M. Oppenheim's preparation of an Index of the Royce Papers at Harvard University. This work, proposed to comence in July 2008, is an essential first step toward issuing a critical edition of Royce's Writings (see news on naming of Larry Hickman as General Editor, below). We still need to raise approximately $45,000 to support Prof. Oppenheim and a secretary for the duration of the 15 month project.

The Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy has already provided $2500, and has offered another $2500 in matching funds. Critical Edition Committee Chair Jacquelyn Kegley has personally donated $1000 toward the project. The Royce Society has provided $500 and is pursuing foundation grants for the remaining funds. Your contribution from $25 to $1000 or more will greatly strengthen the grant applications. Suggestions for possible grant sources should be directed to Jacquelyn Kegley or Kelly Parker.

General Editor Named for Royce Critical Edition
Prof. Hickman brings many years' experience (what else?) from his work on the critical edition of John Dewey's writings. His expertise will be invaluable as we take the first steps toward publishing a projected 25 to 30 volumes of Royce's Writings.
