Abstract

IT is unfortunately too true, as stated in your last week's leading article, that whether the claims of men of Science in serving their country are generally acknowledged in the future must to a large extent depend upon the men of Science themselves. I say unfortunately because, as a general rule, such claims, at least as far as pecuniary rewards go, could not be left in worse hands. I know so well how utterly repugnant it is to the feelings of all true and earnest workers in Science even to speak of suds matters, however much they may be compelled to feel them sometimes, that they will be the last to force public attention to the question. Though this may be a natural and honourable feeling as far as each individual is concerned, I cannot help thinking that it is one which for the sake of the Science they love, it is a duty to place, for the time at least, in abeyance.
