Abstract
THE movemennt against pure science and against freedom in science was first brought to Great Britain by the Soviet delegation to the International Congress on the History of Science held in London in 1931. Before that time it was accepted as a matter of course that the pursuit of pure science by independent research was a worthy and admirable thing, that it was desirable for qualified people to devote their lives to the increase of knowledge as an end in itself, and that research workers at universities should have full liberty to choose the -subjects of their own investigations. One may search the literature in vain for any contrary view, and no such view can have been held by more than a minute fraction of the scientific world.
