It’s a Disease —Says the ’• Professor “Only barbarians fall in love,” said Professor N. W. de Witt, of the University of Toronto, in ah address to Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada. “Decent-living citizens would not do such a thing. “The Greeks called love a calamity, and looked oh it as a disease like smallpox, epilepsy or bubonic plague. “No ancient Greek of aristocratic birth, dreamed of falling in love. Only shepherds or fishermen could do this, because they were of no consequence.”
