Abstract

No one can safely say that he is not in debt to anyone for some, at least, of his possessions, and this applies as well to intellectual achievements as to material goods. None of us knows, of course, just how far this debt extends in any individual case, but an analysis of any record of accomplishments shows that often so much must be attributed to that influence or this, that there is very little left to the individual's personal credit. In some cases, however, the strong persona1ity of the individual considered so changes the influence, or so adapts it, that he seems not at all changed by it, but actively reaching out to grasp and assimilate to himself what it holds for him.
