Abstract
DR. GEORGE TRUMBULL LADD, who U died at New Haven, Connecticut, on August 8, was born at Painesville, Lake County, Ohio, in 1842. In 1879 he became professor of philosophy at Bowdoin College, and two years afterwards, in 1881, was appointed to the chair of philosophy at Yale. Later he was elected Clark professor of metaphysics and moral philosophy at the same university, a position which he occupied until 1905, when, on his retirement, he received the title of emeritus professor. As a lecturer Prof. Ladd was well known in other countries besides America. Three times—in 1892, 1899, and 1907—he gave courses of lectures in Japan, and in 1899 and 1900 he visited India, lecturing in philosophy at the University of Bombay, and in the philosophy of religion at Calcutta and elsewhere. He was in England in 1911, and was present at the first of M. Bergson's lectures on the nature of the soul at University College, London, in the October of that year. His writings are numerous, and many of them voluminous. Certain of his books have been widely used in the universities of the United States and of this country.
