Ph.D, L.L.D.
Founder and editor of the Journal of Speculative Philosophy.
U.S. Commissioner of Education 1889-1906.
A rare scholar whose life was zealously and untiringly devoted to philosphy and education.
His relation to the world is that of a superior spirit.......all that he utters has reference to something complete, good, true, beautiful, whose furtherance he strives to promote in every bosom. Goethe's tribute to Plato.
They that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. Daniel XII
