  It 
  will 
  soon 
  be 
  disclosed 
  to 
  the 
  young 
  scientist 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  joined 
  

   a 
  corps 
  of 
  well- 
  trained 
  professional 
  men, 
  keenly 
  alive 
  to 
  the 
  scientific 
  

   and 
  industrial 
  progress 
  of 
  the 
  Nation. 
  Though 
  he 
  will 
  probably 
  

   never 
  hear 
  the 
  phrases 
  "public 
  duty" 
  and 
  "self-sacrifice," 
  he 
  will 
  

   find 
  that 
  what 
  these 
  terms 
  mean 
  is 
  earnestly 
  expressed 
  by 
  actions. 
  

   Nowhere 
  in 
  the 
  world 
  may 
  he 
  find 
  so 
  many 
  scientists, 
  and 
  whatever 
  

   his 
  specialty 
  he 
  will 
  meet 
  some 
  whose 
  interests 
  are 
  identical 
  with 
  his 
  

   own 
  — 
  among 
  them 
  probably 
  a 
  recognized 
  international 
  authority 
  in 
  

   his 
  particular 
  field 
  of 
  inquiry. 
  Again, 
  he 
  will 
  find 
  his 
  own 
  particular 
  

   field 
  represented 
  in 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  many 
  local 
  societies. 
  Above 
  all, 
  the 
  

   young 
  scientist 
  will 
  in 
  time 
  come 
  to 
  realize 
  that 
  the 
  mere 
  mass 
  of 
  

   such 
  an 
  army 
  of 
  investigators, 
  whose 
  scientific 
  ideals 
  are 
  no 
  less 
  be- 
  

   cause 
  they 
  include 
  the 
  welfare 
  of 
  mankind, 
  gives 
  an 
  inspiration 
  not 
  

   excelled 
  elsewhere.
