Unfinished document in which Warfield contends that there are important reasons to distrust what higher education has to offer with regard to (large changing) systems. He criticizes the rise of “pseudo-scientific” publications and individuals among higher education institutions. Particularly deplores the tendency to ignore great scholars including De Morgan, Boole, Cayley and Harary.
