Professor James Presented with Cup

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor W. James received yesterday from the undergraduate members of Philosophy D a handsome silver loving-cup, standing on an ebony base; and a silver-topped inkstand from the graduate members of the course. The inscription on the cup reads as follows: "To Professor William James, with Reverence and Admiration from his last class in Philosophy, Harvard University, January 22, 1907." A Greek quotation follows, which translated freely reads, "Man is the measure of all things."

Philosophy D is the last course which Professor James will give in the University. He will live in Cambridge and will still give occasional lectures in the University on special topics. As yet the Corporation has taken no action as to what position he will occupy in the University.
