Abstract
To-day the nation’s industries are working together as never before to do their part in the battle for freedom. It is fitting at such a time that we look over that part of civilized life for whose cultivation we as physicists are responsible, that we try to see how our science has been developing and in what direction we may cause it to grow in the future. We want to see clearly the job ahead so we can set about doing it earnestly and cheerfully; for we believe that, with effort, we can determine the future in peace as in war.
Essential substance of an address delivered at the opening of the Charles Benedict Stuart Laboratory of Applied Physics, Purdue University.
