- Title
A SCOTTISH TRIBUTE.
- Authors
Robertson, Stewart A.
- Abstract
The article pays tribute to Scottish sociologist, professor and urban planner Patrick Geddes. He was the most seminal Scottish mind of the last fifty years. His vibrant intelligence shot forth ideas, projects, theories, as some plants eject their spores. He should have been kept like the queen bee in a hive, with swarms of worker-bees to put into practice the visions of his fertile brain. No Scottish professor for ball a century has been so widely known among the intelligentsia of France, Germany, Italy, America, and Hindustan. Yet this great Scotsman held in Scotland no post higher than the chair of Botany in University College, Dundee. Nor had any Scottish University honored itself by enrolling him among its honorary graduates. He died as he had Lived, unhooded and ungowned, belittled in his last days by the knighthood that is available to any pushful politician or provost.
