The Crime

It being only fitting and proper that underlings in a department should show respect for their elders and betters, the loyalty of the younger men in the department of Philosophy for the tenets of Professor Whitehead is indeed an admirable thing.

For Dr. J. D. M. Goheen, popular head assistant in the equally popular Philosophy A, however, the loyalty and respect transcends ordinary intellectual acceptance and borders on adulation. Or so it seemed to his students in yesterday's section meeting. In speaking of Professor Santayana and the veneration in which Professor Whitehead holds his former colleague's beliefs, Dr. Goheen stated that Professor Whitehead held Santayana to be possibly the greatest philosopher since Plato. Finding occasion later to repeat his remark. Dr. Goheen blithely quoted Professor Whitehead as considering Satayana the greatest Philosopher since Whitehead.
