But, as the Encyclopedia Britannica observes,
"he and his followers, however, long retained their degrees, their
titles, and their academic positions and remained free to support
their aberrant trend in biology."

M
May Day
Long before the first congress (1889) of the Second International, a
socialist gathering, appropriated May 1, it was being celebrated by
the Celts. They considered it the day when the supernatural invaded
the earthly and placed living things in great jeopardy. To protect
their precious livestock, they used to herd it between two bonfires in
what became known as the Beltane (or Belltane) festival. The Romans
honored the spring goddess Flora on May Day.
May 1 is still celebrated throughout the countries of the former
communist bloc and in many other places in Europe and Asia as a kind
of Labor Day while in North America, Labor Day is celebrated in
September.
