The E-Sylum:  Volume 6, Number 9, March 2, 2003, Article 4

W. H. SHELDON

John W. Adams writes: "Sheldon-bashing has become a popular
sport. The Yalie quoted by David Fanning refers to WHS as a
"megalomaniac, pseudo-scientist". Whatever Sheldon's faults
(and I don't dispute that there were many), he held an M.D.
and a Ph.D.; his views on classification of personalities via body
types were widely enough accepted to earn him his own room at
the Smithsonian, not to mention free access to the crown jewels
(so to speak) of a long list of Ivy League colleges. Let's not be
glib with the truth just because our alma mater was, in retrospect,
embarrassingly gullible."
