...have so long regarded Professor Wendell as one of Harvard's unchanging institutions that it is hard to believe that he will not be with us next year. In his long career of thirty-six years from instructor to professor he has been the scarce of almost more instruction and inspiration than any other one man. His resignation is all the more unfortunate coming after the loss of three of Harvard's most prominent scholars--Professors Royce, Parker and Muensterberg...
