McDowell, Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison, and George H. Sabine; three letters from James E. Creighton, discussing the "absolute problem," Cunningham's critique of a recently published book by Bosanquet, presumably The Meeting of Extremes in Contemporary Philosophy, administrative matters at both Texas and Cornell, and the decline of the "solid studies that promote discipline of mind," the pitfalls of early specialization, and the "tremendous importance of getting a few general critical ideas into the heads of college graduates"; and single letters from William A Hammond, John Laird, T.V.
