"One of the last great advocates of reason," Hugh Akston was a reknowned philosopher and the head of the Department of Philosophy at
Patrick Henry University, where he taught
Francisco d'Anconia,
John Galt,
Ragnar Danneskjold. He was, along with
Robert Stadler, a father figure to these three.
Akston's name is so hallowed that a young lady, on hearing that Francisco had studied under him, is shocked. She thought he must have been one of those great names from an earlier century.
