...This number of the Monthly is devoted to criticism of Professor Santayana's new book, 'Winds of Doctrine.' . . . Each of Professor Santayana's six essays (on The Intellectual Temper of the Age, Modernism and Christianity, The Philosophy of Mr. Henri Bergson, The Philosophy of Mr. Bertrand Russell, Shelley, and The Genteel Tradition in American Philosophy) is treated in a separate paper. We also include an exposition of the philosopher's metaphysics by one of his former students. Professor Santayana was of the class of '86, and was one of the founders of the Monthly.

Agility, however, is indispensable, for the ball is propelled by every part of the body, except the arms and hands, which makes skillful use of the head and of both feet necessary. When the scientific control of the ball has been mastered, soccer...
...Goodies are at a disadvantage inasmuch as they are ignorant of the means of forcing up the market-price by organization, strikes, etc., or are unable to carry them to success. The main leader then is sentimental, as the rebuttal points out, but there is behind the sentimentality the temper that is like to lead to the juster common-sense of the coming generations. Kindred in spirit to these articles are two translations, one of a Spanish sonnet, another of an address by Anatole France to French students. This address is a plea for vision--"Agitate and dream; and above...
