One of my degrees is in Philosophy. In those kinds of courses, you'd think that independent thought would be appreciated. And it is, to some degree. But the dean of that department was old school, and was determined to ensure that students learned what famous philosophers thought. Socrates, Aristotle, Seneca.....to Kant and Hume and Berkeley.....to Russell. (Rand, as I have said, is a joke)

As you might expect, philosophy courses attract people who think they are brilliant. People who think they are brilliant also believe that demonstrating their brilliance is a service to the community. Dr. Seaman was patient with this fellows, to a point. It was clear when that point was reached and exceeded. Dr. Seaman was the teacher. The student was not.
