  據胡適日記1938.11.26 他在華盛頓 the Cosmos Club 聽Laski 演講 Laski 大罵人英國前首相 Chamberlain 胡適則花20分中為其辯護

Laski, Harold Joseph (1893-1950) 英國著名政治學教授


"
政治典範"翻譯的故事: 杭立武先生訪問紀錄 訪問紀錄 : 林衡道 魏火曜 杭立武
可以知名杭先生是Laski 教授的弟子
杭先生先寫政治典範一書的要義出版 然後知道張譯政治典範
因此 杭詳細校讀 政治典範
並詳細說明誤譯之處
可惜 這些可能都沒有更正過來




2008 年 我問Dr. Deming 的學生 Bill Scherkenbach
他回答(部分)
"...As his student, and because I lived in the Washington DC area, I would meet him for lunch as his guest at the Cosmos Club and discuss his latest thoughts and questions. ..."

我在1998/99問過 Simon 這 the Cosmos Club
Simon很熱情跟我解釋它.....



2009的舊文重刊

由紐約時報的報導

A new spacecraft is about to embark on a mission to find other planets like Earth.

這Cosmos 是希臘以還的觀念 相對的就是我們稱之渾沌的
◆【対】chaos
━━ n. (the 〜) (秩序整然たる)宇宙; 秩序, 調和/ 〔秩序ある体系としての〕宇宙{うちゅう}

美國首府的The Cosmos Club 我一定讀 Deming的作品就知道它
所以約1999我翻譯到 Herbert Simon的回憶錄 Models of My Life 時 提到年輕壯遊到過此地
就寫email 請教他
老年的Simon 熱情地向我解釋它

2008年我問 Bill Scherkenbach 一困擾我的問題
Deming 博士 1978年來台講學時 沒提到他在準備一本後來取名 Quality, Productivity and Competitive Position 的書它究竟何時成書的呢

Bill 回信之一部分

Quality, Productivity and Competitive Position came out of the notes he used for teaching a course at George Washington University. He probably started writing it in the late ‘70s. Before 14 Points.

As his student, and because I lived in the Washington DC area, I would meet him for lunch as his guest at the Cosmos Club and discuss his latest thoughts and questions. I helped him on QPCP by making comments on the manuscript. I think he wanted a younger person’s opinion.


今天三八節 我找一下 Wikipedia 其中已有它的介紹
The Cosmos Club is a social club founded in Washington D.C. by John Wesley Powell in 1878. Clarence Edward Dutton, Henry Smith Pritchett, William Harkness, John Shaw Billings were original members. Among its stated goals is "The advancement of its members in science, literature, and art".[1]
Its members have included many recipients of the Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize and Presidential Medal of Freedom.

History

The Club originally met in the Corcoran Building on the corner of 15th and F Streets, Northwest, but moved to Lafayette Square in 1882. Eventually, the Club occupied the Tayloe and Dolley Madison Houses on the Eastern side of the Square, and razed two rowhouses between them for additional space. Prompted to relocate by the Federal government, the Club moved to the Townsend mansion at the intersection of Massachusetts and Florida Avenues in Northwest Washington in 1952.
Since 1887, the regular meeting place of the Philosophical Society of Washington has been the assembly hall of the Cosmos Club, now called the John Wesley Powell auditorium. The National Geographic Society was founded in the Cosmos Club in 1888.
For its first 110 years, the Cosmos Club did not permit women members, and forbade female guests to enter by the front door or to enter rooms reserved for members. In 1988, the Washington D.C. Human Rights Office ruled that there was probable cause to believe that the club's men-only policy violated the city's anti-discrimination law. The Office was ready to order public hearings on the case, which could have resulted in the loss of all city licenses and permits if the all-male policy had continued.
