Notes
Professor Wright's next letter to his wife was written on the following day from New Bedford (ND 4.071)
Mar 1896
Notes
That all of philosophical Harvard-professors and students alike-acclaimed Swamiji's eloquent, forceful, and rational presentation of Vedanta is unquestioned, but whether or not he had budged such monuments as James and Royce one inch from their hard-fought and well-known philosophical positions is another matter. The reader can find some thoughts on this subject in Appendix B. (ND 4.098)
26 Mar 1896
