Randolph Bourne CC 1912 MA 1913 was a critical essayist. A student of anthropologist Franz Boas, historians Charles Beard and James Harvey Robinson, and the philosopher John Dewey, he turned on the latter for his pragmatic support of World War I, alleging that he failed to see the big picture. Bourne, who died of Spanish Fly shortly after the war, is remembered for his opposition to the conflict - he is known for uttering the line "war is the health of the state" - and for his early advocacy of multiculturalism.
