TRANSACTIONS OF THE TEXAS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 
university professor who, without such a basis, pretended to be a good 
teacher, was, consciously or unconsciously, a selfish fraud. 
On page 6 of his Address, delivered on Commemoration Day, 1877, 
he speaks of a university “ under its two-fold aspect as a teaching body 
and as a corporation for the advancement of science.” He there con¬ 
tinues: “ I hesitate not to say that, in my opinion, the two functions of 
teaching and working in science should never be divorced. 
“I believe that none are so well fitted to impart knowledge as those 
who are engaged in reviewing its methods and extending its boundaries. 
. . May the time never come when the two offices of teaching and 
researching shall be sundered in this University!” 
This was spoken of the Johns Hopkins. Since then no university has 
voluntarily professed an ideal not equally noble and exalted. 
Science, penetrating ever deeper, makes clear the conditions of pro¬ 
gress, of true education, of finest teaching. 
Only those who have produced can adequately fulfill its present motto: 
“ I serve, I help.”
