This is quite entertaining. Here are a sample of William James’s diary entries from the Fall of 1905. He’s wondering whether he should continue to teach at Harvard…
October 26 – “Resign!”
October 28 – “Resign!!!”
November 4th – “Resign?”
November 7th – “Resign!”
November 8th – “Don’t resign.”
November 9th – “Resign!”
November 16th – “Don’t resign!”
November 23rd – “Resign”
December 7th – “Don’t resign”
December 9th “Teach here next year.”
He actually carried on teaching at Harvard for a couple more years, before finally managing to escape in 1907.
