Speecial seats were reserved for

“The world is living in an age
of secientific application, we see
the picture which modern science
presents, but often Jose sight of
the details of the various scien
tific concepts,” Dr. Richtmeyer
said.
“Scientific knowledge is in
creaging at a faster rate today
than ever before in history. The
tens of thousands of investigators
in the various sciénce laboratories
are reporting their results in pure
und applied science through thou
sands of newspapers and maga
zines al!l over the world.
“xoadly speaking, the history
of e may be divided into
four distinct periods, characterized
by the key word. First was the
period of Discovery; second, Ori
entation; third, Measurement; and
fourth, Application.
“A scientific fact must first be
discovered. The discovery fre
quently is quite accidental and un
expected, while frequently discov
ery results from prolonged and
deliberate search. It took Michael
Faraday, who lived early in the
19th century, 10 years to discover
the phenomenon of electro-mag
netic induction, the basis of all
electrical engineering today.
“On the contrary, Roentgen
went to the laborafory one morn

discovery of the X-ray, one of the
greatest discoveries of the cen
tury, by nightfall. The many in
stances in which important scien
