Abstract
THE report entitled “Science, the Endless Frontier” made by Dr. Vannevar Bush to the President of the United States last year (see Nature, August 4, 1945) proposed much increased concern with the organisation of scientific and industrial research on the part of the Federal Government of the United States, and indicated that the United States was contemplating steps taken in Britain some thirty years ago. In some features, however, particularly in regard to recruitment and training for industrial or technical research, the report showed that the United States is more alive to the opportunities and possibilities than is Great Britain. While in regard to academic research the United States may have something to learn from British institutions, in regard to technology the reverse is true ; and the programme and ideas set forth in the Bush Report should be carefully studied by those responsible for technical education in Britain and for implementing the recommendations of the Percy Report.
