Abstract
BY the death of Dr. James Ward, Cambridge has lost one of its most distinguished teachers and British philosophy a man who by general acknowledgment was, along with the late Mr. F. H. Bradley, one of its leading figures. He passed peacefully away on March 4, at the advanced age of eighty-two years, universally beloved and respected, retaining to the end his intellectual vigour, and continuing his work in the University until the illness of his last few days compelled him to desist. The January numbers of Mind and the Hibbert Journal contain articles from his pen which show that he had lost none of his critical alertness, while two years ago he published an elaborate “Study of Kant,” the result of long and sustained research. Until a few months before he died, he was contemplating writing a comprehensive volume on epistemology; as a matter of fact, he had written some chapters of it, a series of articles he contributed to Mind during the years 1919 and 1920 constituting one of them.
