...never considered myself an intellectual virgin until reading that "hump" is by some considered an obscene word. In what respect...
Probably no group of writers or politicians has less respect for each other than the Katzenjammer Kids of the radical movement. Their polemical outbursts are juicy with accusations and counteraccusations. Almost invariably they get home safely, for good radicals, adhering to an unwritten code, usually scorn the capitalist courts. Past master at this sort of street-fighting is New York's Daily Worker, central organ of the Communist Party, U. S. A.

Whether this is literally so or not, the attitude indicated shows the abject respect for established thought and the consequent stultification which now paralyzes the department. Surely Goodwin has not had the last word to say on this subject, and the class receives from its lecturer a shop-worn tradition instead of an active attempt to forge valuations and conceptions in contemporary terms...
