Abstract
T HE year 1946 has been saddened for us by the deaths of four great figures in literature: Alcides Arguedas, Antohio Caso, Armando Alonso, and Pedro Henriquez Urefia. Alcides Arguedas was one of the earliest and most outspoken indianistas. Pueblo enfermo, written in 1909, is a landmark in sociology and one of the most searching studies ever made of the Indian problem; his novel, Raza de bronce, published ten years later, is probably the most famous of all indianista novels. Sociologist, historian, novelist, and diplomat, Arguedas is highly honored and widely known; he is one of the great Bolivians of all time, Antonio Caso devoted his life to the study and teaching of philosophy. His strong opposition to positivism shaped a whole generation of Mexican philosophers. His was a life of selfless consecration to truth and reason, and with his death America has lost one of her great thinkers, writers, and teachers.
