105. Between the Pigeonholes

105. Between the Pigeonholes

“When you get a thing like the Alexander work…who looks after it? It’s neither biology, nor psychology, nor sociology, nor history, nor anything. Therefore, it doesn’t exist. What is obviously needed in academic institutions…is a few people who run about on the woodwork between the pigeonholes, and peep into all of them and see what can be done, and who are not closed to disciplines which don’t happen to fit into any of the categories considered as valid by the present educational system.”
