- Lectures notes from the introductory philosophy course at Harvard ("Phil. 1(a)") taken by an unidentified student between September 1898 and February 1899. Five logical tables and hour exam and mid-year exam questions are mounted on pages with essay exam books bound in following the exam questions. Palmer taught the long opening section on logic and the concluding one on ethics; in between are briefer notes on lectures by William James on nature, George Santayana on aesthetics, Charles Carrolton Everett on theology, and Edward Cummings on sociology, with other contributions possibly by Robert MacDougall and George Harris.
