“We are a people of 110,000,000 on a continent where we have al- 
ready developed the large proportion of our national resources, a popula- 
tion growing .... in the next fifty years .... to perhaps two hundred 
million people. We must face the solemn economic fact that unless we 
develop through science the greater utility of our resources, expand by 
discovery their usefulness, we cannot maintain the standards of living 
.... that we now enjoy.” — Secretary Herbert Hoover, before the U.S. 
Bureau of Standards. 
“I cannot miss this opportunity of pointing out the remarkable fact 
that since Faraday every great advancement in the art of electrical 
communications originated, not in the operating rooms of this art or in 
the research laboratories of the industries, but in the research labora- 
tories of the universities.” — M. I. Pupin (the inventor who made possible 
long distance telegraphy and telephony) before the recent meeting of the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science.
