Abstract
In the early 1930s I heard a lecture in which a University of Chicago philosopher tried to describe George Santayana’s then current ideas about the existence of a Deity.

The lecturer tried several times to catch the essence of Santayana’s beliefs and finally emerged with the following summation: “Santayana,” he said, “is one of those curious philosphers who believes there is no God but that the Virgin Mary is his mother!”
