...maximum of forty-two; and at each of six meetings no one of them appeared. Theoretically this state of things is dangerous; practically it is only inconvenient. It is inconvenient and not dangerous because of the fine spirit shown by the undergraduate members. If the three Faculty members think one way, and the three undergraduates another, the undergraduates may put through what they please, since one of the Faculty members is in the chair and cannot vote, to make a tie. At such times, when the combined undergraduate and graduate experience of the absent members would be the most persuasive...

His own way of thinking has many points of resemblance to what is known as pragmatism in this country. His effort, since the publishing of his first book, has been to show that concrete life exceeds our powers of abstract formulation, that what we see, feel and think in the world of reality are only approximations which the intellect...
