...pity of it all is that the course has or should have considerable interest. Huxley and Darwin are chiefly considered. Their theories are still of present concern. It is true as well that the efforts of Professor Lewis to force his widely dissociated materials into a semblance of form are as attractive as any intellectual katzenjammer can be.
