can point out many shining names of men who slugged their way through the crowd. I challenge Mr. Lane to name great achievements of unified boards adn groups. All boards of directors, I think, are two or three dominant personalities adn several dead weights who attend meetings and vote as told. Chauvenet fascinates me utterly. Here, I say, is a mind really worthy of study. I wish I had time to carry on a correspondence - assuming that Elarcy had likewise the time. If I subscribed to his philosophy of the sub-man I could no longer believe in the pomp and glory of man - of my race. Then it would be harder to believe in myself. If I were superior to others who were only beasts I still might be an inferior man. I think one would despise beasts if they had one's own form. Ditto to his doubts of an Infinite and Ageless Self-Created Deity. LRC expressed my thoughts better than I could myself. Disagreement of minor points in Chauvenet's philosophy of 7 points is inevitable, but in concluding a review of his letter, I feel it necessary to state my opinions of his 4th point, the utter insignificance of himself and all humanity. Humanity is important. I am unimportant. Anyone of the two billion people of earth might be the fulcrum on which a mighty, new age of mankind might begin -- or end. If one is not important, even to one's self, how can one have pride and face the stars at night, to, figuratively, hurl back the challenge of eternity to the skies. Recently I finished, for the third time, a book. It's name is "The Fountainhead". It is the greatest book I've ever read. The author is Ayn Rand. Really, this is no spur-of-the-moment decision. I read quite a few books. I consider "The Robe" the second book of my reading. "The Fountainhead" is a magnificent tribute to the glory of one man against the crowd. The artist, idealist, the first-hander who lives in himself as opposed to the crowd - the second-handers who live by the reflection of others. Read this book is you get the chance. ***** *** * *** ***** -30-
