...voice, in later years somewhat shrill, had the range of a roller coaster. In cutaway coat with stiff collar and ascot tie, Whitehead paced the lecture platform with hands in pockets. Vestigial tufts of white hair fringing a shiny bald pate made him look, said one pupil, "like an angel whose halo had slipped."
