Provided by Wikipedia Frederick James Eugene Woodbridge (March 26, 1867 – June 1, 1940) was a teacher at various American universities. Woodbridge considered himself a naïve realist, deeply impressed with Santayana. He spent much of his career as a dean (of the Faculties of Political Science, Philosophy, and Pure Science) at Columbia University, where a residence hall and a professorship in philosophy are named in his honor. He was editor of the [https://books.google.com/books?id=uRhRAAAAYAAJ Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Methods]. David and Lillian Swenson, translators of some of the works of Søren Kierkegaard, dedicated ''Concluding Unscientific Postscript'', (1941) to Professor Woodbridge.
