IN his presidential address to the Society of Chemical Industry at Ottawa on June 20 on the relation of science to the world of to-day, Viscount Leverhulme reminded his audience that science recognizes no political frontiers and accepts as her servants those in all countries who are engaged in the search after truth and who are working to increase mankind's knowledge of natural phenomena. Discussing the relation between mankind and science, he suggested that possibly we ask too much of science and apply new methods in fields where they have only a limited application. The man of science approaches all problems with the one purpose by observation, measurement and comparison to discover truth. The quest is dispassionate, and though a utilitarian purpose or a commercial motive might inspire the research, that does not affect the scientific approach to the problem which characterizes the scientific worker. Nearly all the contributions of science to our comfort and welfare can be traced to the quest of knowledge for its own sake.
