...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 he will be asked to take the chair held by such men as Professor Palmer and Professor Royce. The chair demands a philosophical scholar who is an ethical thinker of distinction, and Mr. Russell, with his provocative individualism, is hardly that...
...Such scientific experiments carried on with exact instruments seem world-far from the Christmas request of The Fatherland; and yet I cannot send a better message than the results of these researches in the psychological workshop.

'18 says there is thorough sagacity shown in the arrangement of the dialogue. There would have been if there had been nine-tenths less...
...pages are given over to editorials and reviews. The former would seem to have strayed from the sanctum of the Lampoon. The "Reviews" are timely; they are, however, book notices--briefly descriptive, rather than critical. They close the number with its key-note--unsubstantial, evanescent...
