Excerpt from The Present Position of the Philosophical Sciences: An Inaugural Lecture It is also a very gratifying experience to join as a colleague those who were the guides of one's youth. All are not here; but of the seven Pro fessors of the Arts curriculum in my time only two have been removed by death. One, the genial and universally beloved Kelland, passed away in the ripeness of his years. The other leaves an untimely gap, which speaks of recent loss and a common sorrow. One whose welcome to-day would have sounded with peculiar pleas antness in my ears, the generous and high-souled Sellar, has gone from us too soon; and to those who knew him, his loss seems not less but greater as the days go by.
