Finely educated men must be rare. Modern literature is a good-sized world in itself. The mere word "philosophy" stirs the bile of some folks. According to that accomplished humanist-philosopher, George Santayana, it has very largely come to mean "psychology" in the United States.

Less than a dozen years ago Professors James, Royce, Palmer, Santayana and Muensterberg were all teaching at Harvard, and their great and varied talents attracted students from all over America and even from Europe.
