Abstract:

In addressing a gathering of veterinarians, it is fair to claim that I am speaking to fellow scientists, since, having been trained as a biologist and having spent twenty years in biological research, I may reasonably say that I am in a major respect one of you. I have chosen as the subject for this address, “Science and Mankind,” since I believe that the world in general still needs more and not less science, in spite of the pass to which modern technological developments have brought us, and I believe also that the scientific method and the scientific mood are very valuable attitudes which can help us not only in our external relations but also in our daily lives.
