On one occasion, the committee was engaged in a lengthy and passionate debate
about whether a particular program, the subject matter of which was considered to be
the “property” of one school, should be endorsed by the committee to be offered by
another school. The respective disciplines’ warriors had girded their loins for a
protracted battle and it seemed that an impasse had been reached. Professor Judge,
who had been silent throughout the debate to this point was moved to lean forward and
observe in his typically quiet and dignified way, “It’s always been my experience that,
for any subject worthy of consideration, the subject matter can, and indeed must, be
considered from multiple perspectives.” Both sides then, looking rather sheepish,
acceded to the obvious and the program was endorsed.
