"In his Logic Hegel has endeavored to incorporate the essential principles of philosophy which in the development of the worlds thought have forced themselves upon men's convictions, and have been attested by a general consensus of opinion. An insight into the Hegelian system means, therefore, a comprehensive and appreciative grasp of the history of philosophy in the salient features of its progress." John Grier Hibben (1861 - 1933) was a Presbyterian minister, a philosopher, and educator. He served as president of Princeton University from 1912-1932, succeeding Woodrow Wilson and implementing many of the reforms he initiated.
