Scope and content
Refers to the proposed memorial to Henry Sidgwick in the 17 January issue of the Nation, in which his interest in the cause of female education is given 'as a chief reason why American students should subscribe to the memorial fund'. Asserts that there are other reasons also, and refers to Sidgwick's published writings on philosophy, ethics and economic science, for which, he says, many students owe a great debt of gratitude. Refers also to Sidgwick's interest in American affairs, and his benevolent attitude to that country and to its scholars who came to study in Cambridge.
