The Graduates' Magazine.

The leading article in the June number of the Graduates' Magazine is "Philosophy at Harvard," by Professor Munsterberg. Professor Munsterberg discusses the philosophical department at Harvard, its aims, its equipment and its needs. The work is suffering, the writer says, from the lack of a building devoted exclusively to the philosophical department--a building in which all the philosophical classes, now scattered through the different recitation halls, and all the classes in psychological research, now cramped in inadequate laboratories in Dane Hall, might be brought together. "Such a home," Professor Munsterberg writes, "would give us first, of course, the room and the external opportunities for work on every plane; it would give us also the dignity and the repose, the unity and comradeship of a philosophical academy. It would give us the inspiration resulting from the mutual assistance of the different parts of philosophy, which in spite of their apparent separation are still today parts of one philosophy only. The University has somewhat lost sight of the unity of all philosophical subjects, and has above all forgotten that this united philosophy, is more than one science among other sciences, that it is indeed the central science which alone has the power to give unity to the whole University work....A School of Philosophy as a visible unity in the midst of the Yard will renew this truth, and thus give once more to the over-whelming multitude of intellectual efforts of our University a real unity and interconnection."

A very interesting article is that on "Recent Harvard Verse." The writer comments briefly but most satisfactorily on the work of Frederic Crowninshield, Richard Hovey, Bliss Carman, H. L. Koopman, Philip Henry Savage, William Vaughn Moody and Frederic L. Knowles, illustrating his criticisms by a number of selections from the poetry of these men. The article gives one a clear idea of the type and the standard of poetry which Harvard men have written in recent years.

"The University; Reflections and Predictions," by Professor A. B. Hart, contains a number of interesting editorials on points of interest to the University; "Approaches and Reproaches" and "How to Improve the Yard" offer very practical suggestions for the betterment of the architecture of the College.

The magazine contains cuts of Bertram Hall at Radcliffe, of the 1875 gate and of the College pump. The frontispiece of the number is a facsimile of the fly-leaf of a book inscribed with John Harvard's autograph, which was recently found in the library of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. The book and the circumstances of its discovery are described in a short article entitled "A New Autograph of John Harvard."
