Doubtless Mr. Russell's attitude toward the war and toward nationalism motivated some of the remarks--remarks such as this: "The chair demands a philosophical scholar who is an ethical thinker of distinction, and Mr. Russell with his provocative individualism, is hardly that." Why, indeed, must all distinguished ethical thought be anti-individualistic? Is only the man who swallows tradition, keeps in the straight and narrow path of past systems of morals, and who, above all, agrees with you--is only he a distinguished ethical thinker? Clearly, it is not Mr. Russell's distinction as a philosopher against which...
...Harvard's department of philosophy and psychology. Less than a dozen years ago Professors James, Royce, Palmer, Santayana and Muensterberg were all teaching at Harvard, and their great and varied talents attracted students from all over America and even from Europe. For example, L. P. Jacks, an Oxford scholar, and now editor of the Hibbert Journal, came to America to study under James and Royce. More than this, the fame of the department attracted even the undergraduate, and young men who would not otherwise have studied philosophy at all enrolled for one or more courses just to be in contact...
...such an offer ever will be made remains to be seen, but it does not seem likely that if Mr. Russell is called to Harvard he will be asked to take the chair held by such men as Professor Palmer and Professor Royce.

The Committee of Selection for New Hampshire which was authorized by the trustees of the Rhodes Scholarships for the selection of the scholar from that state is composed of President E. M. Hopkins and Professor H. D. Foster, of Dartmouth; Louis Perry, principal of Phillips Exeter Academy; Henry Morrison, New Hampshire State Commissioner of Education; John R. Mc-Lane '12L, former Rhodes Scholar...
...Scholarships are entitled to a three-years' residence at Oxford with a stipend of $1,500 a year. In making the award the judges not only take into consideration the candidate's mental and moral excellence, but also his physical fitness, a and "all-around" man being preferred. The scholar is elected by the Committee from among such persons as pause the qualifying examinations and fulfill certain conditions as to citizenship, age, residence and scholarship. The qualifying examinations for candidates from Massachusetts this year were held at the Medical School on October 3 and 5. Similar scholarships will be awarded...
