...pleasure which the members of the clubs themselves will derive from the trip is unimportant when compared with that which they will afford to the graduates in the cities visited. In this lies the very benefit of the tour. The presence of Harvard undergraduates cannot fail to call back the memories, of their own college days, and revivify their interest in the welfare of almamater...
Idealism, as it has been stated in Lecture X, asserts the existence of an Universal Mind or World-Logos, but seems incapable at first of explaining any fact of experience, or of solving the concrete problems of life. In view of this defect of what one may call abstract Idealism, the present lecture undertakes to assume, at first, the Realistic attitude towards the world, and to re-examine the fundamental questions of philosophy from this point of view. This change of point of view will in the end prove instructive, and will lead to a return to Idealism...
...wish to call the attention of the gymnasium management to the poor condition of the bowling alleys. These alleys are used a great deal, enough surely to warrant keeping them in good repair.

At a slight expense the alleys could be greatly improved, much to the delight of the many bowlers in college...
...argument for Idealism, as thus treated, has three stages. In the first is expounded what one may call the view of Anaryncal Idealism, such as forms the basis of Berkeley's theory.

The essence of this Analytic Idealism consists so far merely in pointing out that every truth must be recognized by us in terms of our own ideas...
...lamentable fact that the interest which graduates of Exeter now at Harvard take in their preparatory school this year has fallen so low as to call out expressions of surprise from the Exeter papers. Only about two years ago the group of Exeter men at Harvard formed a club for the purpose of furthering the interests of Harvard at Exeter; there was a deal of enthusiasm in the cause, and plans were proposed which promised well. But now, in this very short time, all interest in the club seems to have died out. If we might be pardoned...
