refer to the individual himiself, incuding such subjects as 

 education and rehgion. These are called the sciences of social 

 culture. 



So we have in addition to the four pure sciences, three 

 utilitarian sciences; namely the sciences that deal with objects — 

 sciences of social regulation dealing with other subjects — and, 

 finally, the sciences of social culture dealing with the subject 

 himself. 



These seven sciences, as I say, were represented at the 

 International Congress at St. Louis, and I want to take just 

 the few seconds that remain to call your attention to the eight 

 superb volumes of the report of that congress. The Amer- 

 ican gentlemen who were invited to participate in that 

 Congress, together with the foreign guests, form what I be- 

 lieve is the most remarkable group of men ever gathered to- 

 gether at one time and one place in the history of the world. 



You will find in the first volume of this report a descrip- 

 tion of this classification, largely due to Professor Munster- 

 berg. You will find those volumes exceedingly well worth 

 looking over, if you have not already done so ; and if you will 

 take the pains to read the first two or three hundred pages, 

 you will realize that the republic of science and letters is a 

 very large nation, not made up of many states closely touching 

 one another; its departments are more like the claims of the 

 western mining camps, overlapping one another, and are 

 nothing like the water-tight compartments that sometimes 

 seem to separate us when at work in the laboratory. 



Allow me, in behalf of my fellow-members in the Academy 

 of Science, and in my own behalf, to thank the gentlemen of 

 the Chamber of Commerce for the delightful hospitality 

 which have extended to us, and for allowing us to come to- 

 gether and talk matters over in this way." 



Prof. Blair: — 



"On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, I want to thank 

 the gentlemen for their presence here to-night. Gentlemen, 

 you stand adjourned."
