Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 84: May, 1919 For after all, the world may be wrong, and the Scientific Attitude, while it undoubtedly has its place, may not be the whole story. And this will be so if it is true, not that the future is in our hands, but that we are in the future's hands. If it is thus, we need not necessarily dazzle ourselves with Economics' Phi Beta Kappa key. We need not take ourselves so terribly. Seriously - provided only that we do take count of ourselves somehow. If we have succeeded in building some honest mental foundation for ourselves, if we have amassed some real ideas, real principles, real ideals, we den feel ourselves free to meet the future with our debt to it fully discharged, even if we do not comprehend all the mystic meaning of the intersection of the Supply and Demand Curves. Let the Col lege Man take Economics. It may amuse him. But does it, after all, offer a better guide to the life we must live than the classics, art, and literature?
