Abstract
IN that impressive plea for closer co-operation between men of science and those concerned with the general affairs of the nation which formed a main theme of his presidential address to the Science Masters' Association, Sir William Bragg emphasised the need for much closer contact between workers in different branches of science as well as between the scientific worker and the everyday problems of industry or society. Science, he pointed out, loses its vitality if it turns in upon itself. No splendid isolation is possible for the scientific worker. On the contrary, it is one of the gravest dangers which besets the specialist, and specialists we must all be to-day.
