In 1904 he gave the Faraday Lecture before the Royal Society. He has been a prolific and indefatigable investigator and writer, and a list of his publications would occupy several closely printed pages. Although he achieved eminence first in the field of physical chemistry, Professor Ostwald has during the last four or five years diverted, or perhaps extended, his studies to the broad field of the philosophy of science, a subject to which...

...discussion of University problems is introduced by two excerpts from President Eliot's report, "The Evils of Football" and "The Financial Situation." The latter provides a suitable background to Professor Gardiner's article on "The Future of Harvard College," which develops practically into an appeal for increased endowment. The writer finds that it is desirable to reduce the number, or rather "make . . . over into interested and active students" the "too many men here who live a life of athletic or ornamental leisure," to secure for the undergraduate something of that same vigorous and sustained mental training that accompanies study...
