Abstract
THE disappearance of the atmosphere of political freedom of Huxley's day, in which scientific inquiry grew to its full stature, though happily as yet less marked in Great Britain and in France than in some other countries, poises many problems which are closely related with the advance of science and the development of society. The fears for the future of intellectual freedom expressed by Prof. A. V. Hill in his Huxley Memorial Lecture delivered at Birmingham in 1933 have been justified by the events of the last year or more, and the Conference on Academic Freedom held last summer at Oxford, the report of which is now available*, discussed important matters concerned not merely with the establishment of the principle but also with its application for the safeguarding of human culture.
