Flower, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, had died at eleven o'clock Friday evening, at the Long Island Country Club, Eastport, L. I., of heart failure resulting from acute indigestion.

Mr. Sage's purpose was that all sides of philosophy should be represented, and that every method of discovering truth—observation, experiment, speculation, reflection, and historical investigation—should be given its appropriate place. nection with the Board of Trustees Mr. Flower had become well known in Ithaca and had made many warm friends here. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees held on Saturday morning, a committee was appointed, consisting of President Crane, Hon. S. D. Halliday, Mynderse VanCleef, Franklin C. Cornell, and Hon. D. F. Van Vleet, to prepare suitable resolutions upon the death of Mr. Flower. Itwas also resolved that the report of the committee be made to a full meetingof the Board of Trustees and that the Executive Committee attend the funeral. During the spring and summer of 1890, Professor Schurman visited the principal universities of Great Britain and Germany for the purpose of studying the organization of various philosophical departments, and observing their methods of instruction. The organization having been completed, and appointments made to the various departments, the School began its work in the fall of 1891. Since that time some changes have taken place in the staff, and some additions andpromotions have been made. In1896 President Schurman was compelled by the ever increasingduties of his office to resign the chair of ethics, which he had held up to The career of Roswell Pettibone Flower was a remarkable one, even this time. The Trustees chose as his successor Professor James Seth, a m this age and land of great fortunes in a single lifetime.

In 1890 Mr. Sage added to his original gift to the Department of Philosophy thefurther sum of $2 00,000,stipulating that the Trustees should, wherever it was needed, supplement the proceeds of his endowments with appropriations from the general funds of the University. Although a clear-sighted, practical man of affairs, Mr. Sage was profoundly impressed by the mysteries of existence, and firmly persuaded that the highest culture should embrace a The original plan of the School made provision for the establishment of a philosophical journal, and in January, 1892, the first number of The Philosophical Review appeared under the editorship of Professor Schurman. After Professor Schurman's election to the presidency of the University, Professor Creighton was made co-editor, and upon him has fallen since that time the main responsibility for the conduct of the journal.

Not alone by counsel and advice was this interest made known.

Amid the civil wars of Rome comes Lucretius, offering a haven of peace from their distractions aswell as freedom from the terrors of superstition. [Referring to Carlyle's dictum that if a man has anything to say he can say it inplain prose, Mr. Smith shows When the wars are over and the Augustan that the difference between prose and age brings peace with grandeur, the poets Virgil, Horace, Ovid float like halcyons on the calm andsunlit waters. Then poetry lies inthe pleasure the latter affords.] there isa decline, until atlast Claudian Will science kill poetry ? There is a is born outofdue time.

Every relic of Hellenic art is passionately sought and prized beyond measure. The aesthetic taste has not so much departed as taken a new form. The poem has for the time been ousted by the novel. Darwin still finds pleasure in the novel, though he admits that it is a descent from the higher aesthetic tastes, those for poetry and art. Novels, weare told, come out at the rate oftwo in every three days. Novel writing has become a trade and a manufacture. It isby far the most lucrative kind ofliterary production, and after all the servants ofthe Muse must live. Not poetry only, but almost all serious reading, except perhaps controversial theology, isalmost drowned in a tidal wave of fiction. How vast is the circulation of novels every public librarian knows.

Of Browning Ireally speak almost with trembling, though Ihappen to know that his great expositor in Cornell is now far away. Ifeel like aman killing a cow in Hindoostan. If I fail to see what men of superior intellect and far deeper students of poetry than I am do see, it is ten to one that the error is on my side. But I have always failed to see a poet in Browning, except when, as in the Dramatic Lyrics and other pieces, he is level with the common intelligence. In these I pay hearty homage tohis poetic power, and only wish that he had given us more of them. In the pieces which are the special study ofthe Browning clubs Iam unable to recognize either the poetic beauty of the language or the melody of the verse, while the philosophic meaning Ican well understand needs Browning clubs,and very powerful Browning clubs, to extract it.
