	James McCosh
		McCosh's fame was now widespread in the English-speaking world, and on his first visit to the United States (1866) as a representative of the Evangelical Alliance, he was treated like a visiting potentate.
		This, said McCosh, obviously encouraged dilettantism, everything being ``scattered like the star dust out of which worlds are said to have been made.'' Even worse, Harvardians were not obliged to attend classes, with the result that a typical professor often found himself lecturing to a roomful of empty seats.
		While McCosh lived, his tall, massive, and somewhat stooped figure was often seen strolling along the walk that bore his name, admiring the shrubs and trees he had planted and the way the sunlight struck the stone of the buildings he had caused to be erected.

	McCosh, James
		McCosh, James (1811-1894), eleventh president of Princeton, took office in 1868, precisely a century after his fellow-Scot, John Witherspoon, whom he resembled in character, religious ardor, statesmanship, devotion to the task of educating young men, and in the rolling rhythms of his native accent.
		He had been born on a farm near the banks of the River Doon in Ayrshire, the country of Bobby Burns, matriculated at the University of Glasgow in 1825, and moved on to Divinity Hall, University of Edinburgh, in 1829, for the study of religion, philosophy, and psychology.
		His successor, Francis L. Patton, observed admiringly that McCosh was ``more than a model President: he was a model ex-President.'' This meant that, having once laid down his staff of office, he made no subsequent attempt to use it as a cudgel.

	James Mill
		In 1804, James Mill wrote his an essay which reviewed the history of the Corn Laws, calling for the removal of all export bounties and import duties on grains and criticizing Malthus for defending them.
		Soon after, he came across the tracts of Cobbett and Spence, who argued that land (rather than industry) was the source of wealth, that there were losses to foreign trade between nations, that the public debt was not a burden, that taxes were productive and that crises were caused by a general glut of goods.
		To posterity, James Mill's greatest claim to fame was undoubtedly his legendary role as the father of John Stuart Mill.

	Henry Norris Russell
		McCosh acted to strengthen mathematics instruction at Princeton as a counter to what he believed was a growing tendency to rely only upon experience.
		McCosh believed that the physical and natural sciences promoted a "religious understanding of the world." He built a "theory of the universe conditioned by Christian revelation," and carried it to New Jersey and the village of Princeton, where in 1868 he became the eleventh president of the college.
		Thus both McCosh and Henry played down the simple accumulation of facts and promoted hypotheses as "the great instruments of discovery." This was McCosh's plan for Princeton, heartily endorsed and pursued by those he brought to the campus, and later by those who trained there.

		What was at stake for McCosh was the philosophical issue of materialism versus theism, and he, like Hodge, was willing to set aside relatively minor scientific differences in the face of the great infidelity of the day.
		Both Hodge and McCosh rejected the idea that evolution was a sufficient philosophy of being, and both agreed that it could only supply "the method through which the true force and cause works," but they disagreed over whether evolution was a proven fact.

		McCosh Hall (built in 1906) was, as Woodrow Wilson announced, ``the gift of a small group of friends of the University'' who were also ``devoted to the memory of James McCosh.'' When constructed it was the largest building on the Campus, extending four hundred feet along McCosh Walk and one hundred feet on Washington Road.
		McCosh Hall was designed by Raleigh C. Gildersleeve in the Tudor Gothic style of architecture then dominant at Princeton, with exterior walls of gray Indiana limestone.
		Situated at the crossroads of University life, the locus during term-time of daily faculty and student dialogue, the scene over the years of public lectures, open forums, class meetings, concerts, celebrations, demonstrations, and protests, it is like the man it was built to keep in memory: substantial, familiar, appealing, handsome, purposeful.
