quired in the conduct of pure scientific re- 

 search which can be done only with the aid 

 of money. The first of these I think is this : 



When a master scientist does appear and 

 has made himself known by his discoveries, 

 then he should be provided with all of the 

 resources and facilities and assistants that 

 he can effectively employ, so that the range 

 of his genius will in no way be restricted 

 for the want of anything which money can 

 provide. 



Every reasonable and even generous pro- 

 vision should be made for all workers in 

 pure science, even though their reputations 

 have not yet become great by their dis- 

 coveries, for it should be remembered that 

 the road to great discoveries is long and 

 discouraging and that for one great achieve- 

 ment in science we must expect numberless 

 failures. 



I would not restrict these workers in pure 

 science to our great universities, for I be- 

 lieve that they should be located also at our 

 technical schools, even at those with the 

 most practical aims. In such schools the 

 influence of a discoverer in science would 

 serve as a balance to the practical curric- 

 ulum and familiarize the student with the 

 high ideals of the pure scientist and with 

 his rigorous methods of investigation. 

 Furthermore, the time has come when our 

 technical schools must supply in largely 

 increasing numbers men thoroughly 

 grounded in the scientific method of inves- 

 tigation for the work of industrial research. 



Even the engineering student, who has 

 no thoughts of industrial research, will 

 profit by his association with the work of 

 the pure scientist, for if he expects ever to
