Abstract
Geach's rich paper `A Program for Syntax' introduced many ideas into the arena of categorial grammar, not all of which have been given the attention they warrant in the thirty years since its first publication. Rather surprisingly, one of our findings (Section 3 below) is that the paper not only does not contain a statement of what has widely come to be known as ``Geach's Rule'', but in fact presents considerations which are inimical to the adoption of the rule in question. With regard to at least some amongst the numerous other points extracted here from Geach's discussion, we shall not be able to reach so definitive a conclusion, and content ourselves with giving the issues an airing.
