Since the death of Professor Royce, who held the Alford professorship of natural religion, moral philosophy and civil polity, in succession to Professor Palmer, it has been rumored that Bertrand Russell would be called from England to the chair made vacant by Professor Royce. It is certain that no such offer has ever been made to Mr. Russell, though he had been invited to lecture at Harvard during the present year. Whether or not such an offer ever will be made remains to be seen, but it does not seem likely that if Mr. Russell is called to Harvard...
...human memory, studying the conditions under which man remembers and forgets. Some of the results were very queer. We found that the mind does not hold or lose its memory ideas in a mechanical way, but that everything depends upon purposes; ideas which are gathered with a certain aim quickly fade away when the motive is no longer effective.

...much physically from its players to make it possible to stage a sufficient number of games to decide a football championship. Players who have put forth all that they could muster against a traditional rival might show up stale against an inferior football team a week later. Certain games call for the supreme effort; others are merely football games to fill in a schedule. --The Outlook...
