Excerpt from Lectures on Science, Philosophy and Art, 1907-1908 IN the early part of the last century a philosophic French mathematician, addressing himself to the question of the perfectibility of scientific doctrines, expressed the opinion that one may not imagine the last word has been said of a given theory so long as it can not by a brief explanation be made clear to the man of the street. Doubtless that concep tion of doctrinal perfectibility, taken literally, can never be realized. For doubtless, as there exist now, so in the f u ture there will abound, even in greater and greater variety and on a vaster and vaster scale, deep-laid and high-tower ing scientific doctrines that, in respect to their infinitude of detail and in their remoter parts and more recondite strue ture, shall not be intelligible to any but such as concen trate their life upon them. And so the noble dream of Gergonne can never literally come true. Nevertheless, as an ideal, as a goal of aspiration, it is of the highest value, and, though in no case can it be quite attained, it yet admits in many, as I believe, of a surprisingly high degree of ap proximation. I do not mind frankly owning that I do not share in the feeling of those, if there be any such, who re gard their special sub ects as so intricate, mysterious and high, that in all their sublimer parts they are absolutely ih accessible to the profane man of merely general culture even when he is led by the hand of an expert and conde scending guide. For scientific theories are, each and all of them, and they will continue to be, built upon and aboutnotions which, however sublimated, are nevertheless de rived from common sense. These etherealized central con cepts, together with their manifold bearings on the higher interests of life and general thought, can be measurably as similated to the language of the common level from which they arose. And, in passing, I should like to express the hope that here at Columbia there may one day be estab lished a magazine that shall have for its aim to mediate, by the help, if it may be found, of such pens as those of Hux ley and Clifford, between the focal concepts and the larger aspects of the technical doctrines of the specialist, on the one hand, and the teeming curiosity, the great listening, waiting, eager, hungering consciousness of the educated thinking public on the other. Such a service, however, is not to be lightly undertaken. An hour, at all events, is hardly time enough in which to conduct an excursion even of scientific folk through the mazes of more than twenty hundred years of mathematical thought or even to express intelligibly, if one were competent, the significance of the whole in a critical estimate.

Excerpt from International Congress of Arts and Science, Vol. 1: Philosophy and Metaphysics; Comprising Lectures on Philosophy of Religion, Sciences of the Ideal, Problems of Metaphysics, the Theory of Science, and Logic For the demonstration of the value of these products men thor oughly skilled in their development and use are sent by the various exhibitors. The exposition by the logic of its creation thus gathers to itself the expert representatives of every art and industry. For at least two months in the exposition period there are present the members of the international jury of awards, selected specially by the different governments for their thorough knowledge, theoretical and practical, of the departments to which they are assigned, and selected further for their ability to impress upon others the correct ness of their views. The renown of a universal exposition brings, as visitors, students and investigators bent upon the solution of prob lems and anxious to know the latest contributions to the facts and the theories which underlie every phase of the world's development. The material therefore is ready at hand with which to construct the framework of a conference of parts, or a congress of the whole of any subject. It was a natural and logical step to accompany the study of the exhibits with a debate on their excellence, an analysis of their growth, and an argument for their future. Hence the con gress. The exposition and the congress 'are correlative terms. The former concentres the visible products of the brain and hand of man; the congress is the literary embodiment of its activities.

Excerpt from Science, Philosophy and Religion: Lectures Delivered Before the Lowell Institute, Boston The plan of the lectures and their merit, whatever this may be, centre here, and are commended to un sparing, yet fair and searching, criticism. If these. Lectures shall serve, even by a little, to deepen our impression of our powers, and our sense of hope in their handling, a chief object will be reached. We believe in the unspeakable elevation of our spiritual nature, and are willing often to Shift the View, if so be, through clouds and mists, we may catch some more distinct prospect Of those heights on which it is our earliest and latest effort to plant the feet Of men.

Excerpt from Course of Lectures on Natural Philosophy and the Mechanical Arts, Vol. 1 of 2: A New Edition, With References and Notes, Illustrated by Numerous Engravings on Copper The Lectures which are now a second time presented to the public, are so well known, and so justly celebrated, amongst those who are most capable of judging of their merits, that very little need be offered by way of preface to this volume. Whether we regard the depth of Dr. Young's learning, the extent of his research, the accuracy of his statements, or the beauty and originality of his theoretical views, in whatever way we contemplate these Lectures, our admiration is equally excited. They embody a complete system of Mechanical Philosophy, drawn from original sources, and illustrated by a hand capable of reducing them to the most perfect subjection. Unlike other popular writers, who, for the most part, either take the sciences at second hand, or content themselves simply with extracting the discoveries and adopting the hypotheses of more distinguished philosophers, Dr. Young travelled over the whole literature of science, and whilst we are astonished at the rich store of materials which he has collected, we find nothing more prominent than the impress of his own acute and powerful mind. It is particularly conspicuous in his treatise on motion and force, which, with their applications to the useful arts, forms the first part of these Lectures. In comparing this treatise with others of similar pretension, we are forcibly impressed with the fact, that whilst their authors have been driven to popularize from inability to grapple with mathematical researches, Dr. Young has been enabled to do so from his thorough mastery of those researches. It combines correctness with simplicity. The popular reader may trust to it as always based on right principles, and calculated to pave his way to a more extensive and intimate research; the mathematical reader will find in it the clearest statement of arguments which have already been presented to him in another form.

Excerpt from Science and Faith This lecture upon Science and Faith, in which an attempt is made to deal upon general lines with difficulties arising out of the very general misconception as to the true nature and func tion of exact science, forms the first of the second series of Westminster Lectures delivered in the Cathedral Hall at Westminster in 1906. In dealing with such a misconception as is involved in the supposition that there are contradictions between the exact results Of Science and the dogma Of Revelation, a critical and an argumentative treatment is to a certain extent unavoidable. In accordance, however, with the plan of exposition adopted in these lectures, this treatment is emphasised as little as the nature of the subject will permit; and the positive and constructive element, at which the Westminster Lectures aim, is adopted in SO far as it is possible.
