PROFESSOR COULTER INDEFENSE OF SCIENCEHead of BotaDy Department as COD­vocation Orator TeUs ofUses of Science.GIVES THE VALUE OF THEORYAnalyzes Misconceptions in PublicMind as to Scientists and Valueof Their Work.A defense oi the value of scienceto humanity and a plea against toomuch practicability in education wasmade by Professor John �Ierle Coul­ter in his address at the Convocationexercises. Professor Coulter de­clared that the so-called pure sciencewas not greatly different from ap­plied science. and that although theactual .beuefit to be gained from pureknowledge is 110t always visible, itexists nevertheless.Professor 'Coulter gave as his intro­duction the position of scientists andthe mutual understanding betweenthem and the public. This, he said, isdue to a false conception of whatthe scientist is attempting to do. Healso ascribed this misconception tofalse dissemination of scentific knowl­edge by public organs.Professor Coulter's address in partwas as follows:Remember the Sources."It is evident that responsibilityfor the material results of science isto be, shared ,by. those. engaged inpure science, those engaged in ap­plied science, and those not trained inscience at all. The only distinctionis not in the result, therefore, but inthe intent. As. one of my colleagueshas aptly said, the difference betweenpure science and applied science, intheir practical aspects, resolves itselfinto the difference between murderand manslaughter; it lies in the in­temion. So long as the world getsthe results of science, it is not likelyto trouble itself about the intention.In every end result of science thatreaches the public. there is an inex­'tricable tangle of contributions. Be­tween the source of energy and thepoint of application, there may bemuch machinery, and perhaps noneof it can be eliminated from the finalestimate of values. And yet, the pub­lic is in danger of gazing at the prac­tical electric light and forgetting theimpractical power house; and schoolsare being asked to turn on the elec­tric light and to shut off the powerhouse."Another conclusion is that all ap­plication must have something to ap­ply. and that application alone wouldpresently result. in sterility. Theremust be perennial contributions toknowledge, with or without immedi­ately useful intent, that applicationmay possess a wide and fertile fieldfor cultivation. It is just here thatthe menace to education is evident.When education in science becomesa series of prescriptions to be fol­lowed without undcrtanding and with­out perspective, it will train apprcn­.ticcs rather than intelligent think­ers. Oi course there is a place iorjust this kind of training and therearc individuals who need it: but theplace docs not seem to be the schoolsfor general education, and the indi­viduals are evidently not all thosewho pass through these schools, oreven a majority of them.A. to Present Problems."A third conclusion is that there isnothing inherent in useful problemsthat would compel their avoidanceby an investigator who wishes to con­trihute to knowledge. \Vhile sach(Continaed on Page 2.)Track and Baseball Teams to BeGiven Strenuous Work DuringComing Week-Relay Men Trainfor Wisconsin Races.Dr. Raycroft Makes Auual Selectionof Star Confereace T eaDIJ ofBasketball Seuon.

Ninety-five students received de­grees and titles and 43 students weregiven honors at the Seventy-fourthConvocation exercises yesterday inMandel hall. The exercises yesterdaymarked the definite establishment ofthe custom begun last year of mak­ing the winter Convocation as localas possible, the speaker being a Uni­versity man. It was announced byPresident Judson that this customwould be continued in the future win­ter exercises.The most impressive feature of theexercises was the tribute paid to thememory of Professor Charles R.Barnes, who died a few weeks ago,and C. Alfred Hicks, an assistant inthe department of bacteriology, whodied at the beginning of the quarter.After President Judson had spokenfavorably of the characters of thetwo men, the entire audience aroseand stood with heads bowed whilethe chimes rang out a hymn.The Honors.Those who received honors and de­grees were as follows:Honors for excellence in the workof the Junior colleges were awardedto Frances P.

Perhaps the volumefrom his own university illustratesthis most compactly. It contains pa­.pers written by 29 men, easily amongthe leaders in their respective fields,and representing the widest possiblerange of universities. and a11 unitedin saying that this embodiment of thescientific spirit re\'olutionized not on­ly zoology and botany and geologyand astronomy. but also the study oflanguage, of history, of sociology, ofphilosophy and of religion. Thismeans that all subjects worthy ofstudy and worthily studied have be­come scientific. I t also means thatthis same scientific attitude is avail­able for our social prohlt!ms, immense-ly more important and vital than. ourmaterial problems, for they deal withreal human welfare. Without at­tempting to analyze in any adequateway what has been called the scien­tific attitude of mind, or the scientif-ic spirit, I wish to indicate three ofits useful characteristics.Spirit of Inquiry."1. It is a spirit of inquiry.-I nour experience we encounter· a vastbody of established belief in refer­ence to all important subjects, suchas society, government, education, re­ligion. etc. It is well if our encoun­ter be only objective, for it is gener-ally true, and a more dangerous fact,that we find outselves cherishing alarge body of belief, often called her­editary, but of course the result ofearly association. Nothing seemsmore evident than that all this estab­lished belief that we encounter be­longs to two categories: the price­less result of generations of experi­ence, and heirloom rubbish. Towardthis whole body of belief the scien­tific attitude of mind is one of un­prejudiced inquiry. So far as the at­titude is prejudiced, it is unscientific.This is not the spirit of iconoclasm,but an examination of the founda­tions of belicf. I t is evident that thisspirit is diametrically opposed to in­tolerance, and that it can find no com­mon ground with those who affirmconfidently rthat the present organi-zation of society is as good as it canbe; that our republic represents thehighest possible expression of manin reference to governrnent ; that thepast has discovered all that is best ineducation; that the mission of reli­gion is to conserve the past ratherthan to grow into the future. This isnot the spirit o( unrest, of discom­fort, but the evidence of a mindwhose every avenue is open to theapproach of truth from every direc­tion. For fear of being misunder­stood, I hasten to say that this bene­ficial result of scientific training doesnot come to all those who cultivateit, any more than is the Christ-likecharacter developed in all those whoprofess Christianity. I regret to saythat even some who ·bear greatnames in science have been as dog­matic as the most rampant theolo­gian. But the dogmatic scientist andtheologian are not to be taken as ex­amples of the 'peaceful fruits ofrighteousness,' for the general ameli­orating influence of religion and ofscience is none the less apparent. Itis not the speech of the conspicuousfew that is leavening the lump ofhuman thought, but the quiet 'work ofthousands of teachers."Show Me" Spirit.2. It is a spirit which demandsthat a claimed cause shall be demon­strated.-It i:" in the laboratory thatone first really appreciates how manyfactors must he taken into the countin considering any result, and whatan clement of extremely large un­.certainty an unknown factor intro­duces. Even when the factors of somesimple result arc well in hand, and wecan combine them with reasonablecertainty that the result will appear,we may be entirely wrong in conclu­sion as to what in tht cornbinat ionhas produced the result. For exam-ple, the forms of certain plants werechanged at will by supplying to theirsurronnding medium various sub­stances. It was easy to obtain defin­ite results, and it was natural to con·PROFESSOR COULTER INDEFENSE OF SCIENCE Don't Forget to RomemberThe Official Student Publication ofThe University of Chicago.

Oaoba I, 1902Patronize Maroon adveniset'S. an investigator should never be han­dicapped by the utilitarian motive, atthe same time he should never be per­versely non-utilitarian. I feel free tomake this statement, for perhaps nofield within the confines of my owngeneral subject seems to be morenon-utilitarian than the special one Jhave chosen to cultivate. There is'no reason why a university, especial-ly one dominated by research, shouldnot include among its investigationssome that are of immediate concernto the public welfare."A final conclusion may be that allscience is one; that pure science isoften immensely practical; that ap­plied science is often very pure sci­ence; and that between the two thereis no dividing line. They are likethe end members of a long and in­tergrading series-very distinct inithcir isolated and extreme expres-sion, but completely connected. Ifdistinction must be expressed interms where no sharp distinction ex­ists, what seems to me to be a hap­py suggestion made by one of mycolleagues. is the distinction ex­pressed by the terms fundamentaland superficial. They are terms ofcomparison and admit of every inter­grade. In general, a university de­voted to research should be interest­ed in the fundamental things of sci­ence, the larger truths, that increasethe general perspective of knowledgeand may underlie the possibilities ofmaterial progress in many directions.On the other hand, the immediatematerial needs of the community areto be met by the superficial things ofscience, the external touch of morefundamental things. The series maymove in either direction, but its endmembers must always hold the samerelative positions. The first stimulusmay be our need, and a superficialscience meets it, but in so doing itmay put us on the trail that leads tothe fundamentals of science. On theother hand, the fundamentals may begripped first, and only later find somesuperficial expression. The series isoften attacked first in some interme­diate region, and 'Probably most ofthe research in pure science may. be50 placed; that is. it is relatively fun­damental; but it is also relatively su-perficial. The real progress of sci­ence is away from the superficial to­ward the fundamental; and the morefundamental are our results, the moreextensive may be their superficial ex­pression. In short, my subject,'Practical Science,' is not subject atall, if it implies a special kind of sci­ence, for all science is practical.Usefulness of Science."I cannot leave science in the po­sition of working on the chance thatsome of its results some day may befound to be of material service tomankind. I have been speaking thelanguage of those who measure use­fulness in terms of its market �rice,and even at that low level the re-.suits of science easily control themarket. Perhaps there are some whothink that this is the only level atwhich the usefulness of science isconspicuous, for it is often thoughtof as the Pullman car of our civiliza­tion, and not the passenger-some­thing that contributes to our conven­ience and comfort, but somethingquite apart from our intellectual andmoral selves.To' my mind, the largest usefulnessof science, its contribution of immeas­urable value to human welfare, is onthe intellectual level. It has devel­oped and is continuing to develop thescientific attitude of mind. an attitudethat has literally revolutionized think­ing. so that all subjects and all edu­cation have become scientific.

Lat-er it was discovered that the resultsare not due to the chemical nature ofthe substances, but to a physical con­dition developed by their presence, acondition which mav be developed bv•rother substances or by no substances;and so our prescription was much en­larged.Slavery to Subjects."There is a broad application here.In education WI! are in danger ofslavery to subjects. Having observedthat certain ones may be used toproduce certain results, we prescribethem as esse-ntial to the process, with­out taking into account the 'Possibil­ity that other subjects may 'producesimilar results. In religion, 'we are indanger of formulating some specificline of conduct as essential to the re­sult, and of condemning those whodo not adhere to it. That there maybe many lines of approach to a giv­en result, if that result be a generalcondition, is a hard lesson for man­kind to learn."If it is so difficult to get at th� realfactors of a simple result in the lab­oratory, and still more difficult to in­eerpret the significance of factorswhen found, in what condition mustwe be in reference to the immenselymore complex problems that con­front us in social organization, gov­ernment, education and religion, es­pecially when it is added that the vastmajority of those who have offeredanswers to these problems have hadno conception of the difficulties in­volvcd in reaching truth? The prop­er effect of such knowledge is not de­spair, but an attentive and receptivemind.Many Causes for One Result."The prevailing belief among theuntrained is that any result may beexplained by' some single factor oper-ating QS a cause. They seem to haveno conception of the .fact that thecause of every result is made up ofa combination of interacting factors,often in numbers and combinationsthat arc absolutely bewildering tocontemplate. An enthusiast discoverssome one thing which he regards andperhaps all right-thinking people re­gard as an evil in society or in gov­'cqnment, and straightway this ex­plains for him the whole of our pres­cnt unhappy condition.

I t isfortunate when the leaders of publicsentiment have gotten hold of onereal factor. They may overdo it, andwork damage by insisting upon somespecial form of action on account ofit, but so far as it goes it is the. truth.I t is more apt to be the case, how­ever, that the factor claimed holds norelation whatsoever to the result.This is where political demagoguerygets in its most unrighteous work,and is the soil in which the noxiousweeds of destructive socialism. char­latanism and religious cant flourish.Science Sticks to Facts."3. It keeps one close to the facts.-There seems to be abroad a notionthat one may start with a single wellattested fact. and by some- logicalmachinery construct an elaboratesystem and reach an authentic con­clusion, much as the world has imag­ined what Cuvicr could do if a singlebone were furnished him. The re­sult is bad, even though the fact mayhave an unclouded title. But it hap­pens too often that great superstruc­tures have been reared upon a factwhich is claimed rather than demon­strated. Facts are like stepping­stones; so long as one can get a rea­sonably close series of them he canmake some progress in a given direc­tion, but when he steps beyond themhe flounders. As one travels awayfrom a fact its significance in anyconclusion becomes more and moreattenuated, until presently the ,"ary­ishing point is reached, like the raysof Iight from a candle. A fact is real­ly influential only in its own immedi­ate vicinity; but -the whole structureof many a system lies in the regionbeyond the vanishing point.Strikes Vague Thinking."Such 'vain imaginings' are delight­fully seductive to many people whoselife and conduct are even shaped bythem. I have been amazed at thelarge development of this phase ofemotional insanity, commonly mas­querading under the name of 'subtlethinking.' Perhaps the name is ex­-pressive enough, if it means thinkingwithout any material for thought.And is not this one great danger ofour educational schemes, when spe­cial stress is laid upon training?There' is danger of setting to work amental machine without giving itsuitable material upon which it mayoperate, and it reacts upon "itself, re­sulting in a sort of mental chaos. Anactive mind, turned in upon itself,without any valuable objective mate­rial, certainly can never reach anyvery reliable results. It is the trainedscientific spirit which recognizes thatit is dangerous to stray away veryfar from the fact. and that the fartherone strays away the more dangerousit becomes, and almost inevitablyleads to self-deception.Science Is UsefuL STUDENTS RESTAURANT?WHERE?

This doesnot mean that all scientific men ex­hibit this attitude to the full, but thatit is their ideal. This ideal has real­ized some tremendous results duringthe last half century, and there isevery evidence that it is accumulat­ing momentum for a much larger ex­pression.

In general,the world's standards of usefulnessare tawdry. but education ought tocorrect them rather than maintainthem."The conclusion is that science isirnmcasurablv useful, from fundamen­tal to supe;ficial. on the materialplane and on the intellectual plane:and that in these two regions of hu­man need it is the most valuablepractical asset the world posscs scs."
