Excerpt from The Function of Science, in the Modern State
Are we to return to the old order of things now the war is over, or Shall science continue to exercise its proper function in the state in the harder contests of the coming peace? I venture to think some of the reforms advocated in this paper of 1902 would have helped us had they been carried out before 1914, and I believe that some of those still outstanding if now adopted could not fail to help us in the coming contests of peace.
