...McCosh, in the last number of the Princeton Review, has an article on "What an American Philosophy Should be," and in the course of the article makes the following statement: "It follows that if there is to be an American philosophy, it must be realistic.

They are peculiarly fortunate in being under the supervision of that year's crew. A year ago now, it looked as though Cornell was not to be represented in the inter-collegiate contests...
