I quote from a Report to the Board of the 

 Faculty of Arts made just before the war on 

 a proposed new Honour School, the subject 

 of which should be the principles of phi- 

 losophy considered in their relation to the 

 sciences. That joint action of this kind 

 should have been taken by the Boards of 

 Arts and of Science indicates a widespread 

 conviction that no man is cultivated up to 

 the standard of his generation who has not 

 an appreciation of how the greatest achieve- 

 ments of the human mind have been reached ; 

 and the practical question is how r to introduce 

 such studies into the course of liberal educa- 

 tion, how to give the science school the leaven 

 of an old philosophy, how to leaven the 

 old philosophical school with the thoughts 

 of science. 1 



1 Since I wrote this lecture, Professor J. A. Stewart has sent me 

 his just-published essay on Oxford after the War and a Liberal 

 Education, in which he urges with all the weight of his learning 

 and experience that the foundations of liberal education in Oxford 



[" should be "No Humane Letters without Natural Science and no 



I Natural Science without Humane Letters."
