 grave error. The scientific student should 

 go to the sources and in some way be taught 

 the connection of Democritus with Dalton, 

 of Archimedes with Kelvin, of Aristarchus 

 with Newton, of Galen with John Hunter, 

 and of Plato and Aristotle with them all. 

 And the glories of Greek science should be 

 opened in a sympathetic way to ' ' Greats ' '
