SCIENCE. 



[N. S. Vol. XX. No. 497. 



will be followed by two addresses on each 

 of the twenty-four great departments of 

 knowledge. The theme of one address in 

 each case will be the fundamental concep- 

 tions and methods, while the other will set 

 forth the progress during the last century. 

 The preceding addresses will be delivered 

 by Americans, making the work of the first 

 two days the contribution of American 

 scholars. 



On the third day, with the opening of the 

 V sections, the international work will begin. 

 About 128 sectional meetings will be held 

 on the four remaining days of the congress, 

 at each of which two papers will be read, 

 the theme of one being suggested by the 

 relations of the special branch treated to 

 other branches; the other by its present 

 problems. Three hours will be devoted to 

 each sectional meeting, thus enabling each 

 hearer to attend eight such meetings, if he 

 so desires. The program is so arranged 

 that related subjects will be treated, as 

 far as possible, at different times. The 

 length of the principal addresses being 

 limited to forty-five minutes each, there 

 will remain at least one hour for five or six 

 brief communications in each section. The 

 addresses in each department will be col- 

 lected and published in a special volume. 



It is hoped that the living influence of 

 this meeting will be yet more important 

 than the formal addresses, and that the 

 scholars whose names are announced in the 

 following program of speakers and chair- 

 men will form only a nucleus for the gath- 

 ering of thousands who feel in sympathy 

 with the efforts to bring unity into the 

 world of knowledge.
