Chalmers was on his feet again, thoroughly angry. Abuse of himself he could take; talking that way about gentle, learned, old Pottgeiter was something else. "I think Doctor Pottgeiter's said the most reasonable thing I've heard since I came in here," he declared. "If my sanity is to be questioned, I insist that it be questioned by somebody qualified to do so." [Illustration: Had the sane restrained the insane, or was it the other way around?] Weill set his recorder on the floor and jumped up beside him, trying to haul him back into his seat. CHALMERS WAS ON HIS FEET AGAIN THOROUGHLY ANGRY ABUSIVE HIMSELF HE COULD TAKE TALKING THAT WAY ABOUT GENTLE LEARNED OLD POTGARTER WITH SOMETHING ELSE I THINK DOCTOR POTGATER SAID THE MOST REASONABLE THING I'VE HEARD SINCE I CAME IN HERE HE DECLARED IF MY SANITY IS TO BE QUESTIONED I INSIST THAT IT BE QUESTIONED BY SOMEBODY QUALIFIED TO DO SO VILES SET HIS RECORD ON THE FLOOR AND JUMPED UP BESIDE HIM TRYING TO HAUL HIM BACK INTO HIS SEAT
urn retorted, "but I know a lunatic by his ravings." "Doctor Fitch is taking an entirely proper attitude," Pottgeiter said, "in pointing out that abnormal psychology is a specialized branch, outside his own field. I wouldn't dream, myself, of trying to offer a decisive opinion on some point of Roman, or Babylonian, history. Well, if the question of Doctor Chalmers' sanity is at issue here, let's consult somebody who specializes in insanity. I don't believe that anybody here is qualified even to express an opinion on that subject, Doctor Whitburn least of all." Whitburn turned on him angrily. "Oh, shut up, you doddering old fool!" he shouted. "Look; there's another of them!" he told the trustees. "Another deadhead on the faculty that this Tenure Law keeps me from getting rid of. He's as bad as Chalmers, himself. You just heard that string of nonsense he was spouting. Why, his courses have been noted among the students for years as snap courses in which nobody ever has to do any work....  AREN'T MY SUBJECTS BUT ER NOT MY SUBJECTS EITHER WHITBURN RETORTED BUT I KNOW A LUNATIC BY HIS RAVINGS DOCTOR FITZ HAS TAKEN AN ENTIRELY PROPER ATTITUDE POTGEYTER SAID IN POINTING OUT THAT ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY IS A SPECIALIZED BRANCH OUTSIDE HIS OWN FIELD I WOULDN'T DREAM MYSELF OF TRYING TO OFFER A DECISIVE OPINION ON SOME POINT OF ROMAN OR BABYLONIAN HISTORY WELL IF THE QUESTION OF DOCTOR CHALMERS VANITY IS ISSUE HERE LET'S CONSULT SOMEBODY WHO SPECIALIZES IN INSANITY I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYBODY IS QUALIFIED EVEN TO EXPRESS AN OPINION ON THAT SUBJECT DOCTOR WHITBURN LEAST OF ALL WHITBURN TURNED ON HIM ANGRILY OH SHUT UP YOU DODDERING OLD FOOL HE SHOUTED LOOK THERE'S ANOTHER OF THEM HE TOLD THE TRUSTEES ANOTHER DEAD AND ON THE FACULTY THAT THIS TENURE LAW KEEPS ME FROM GETTING RID OF HE'S AS BAD AS CHALMERS HIMSELF YOU'VE JUST HEARD THAT STRING OF NONSENSE HE WAS POUTING WHY AS COURSE AS I'VE BEEN NOTED AMONG THE STUDENTS WARRIORS AS NAPCOURSES IN WHICH NOBODY EVER HAS TO DO ANY WORK
