Excerpt from The Relation of Pure Science to Industrial Research, Vol. 44

IT is not strange that many years ago Huxley, with his remarkable precision of thought and his admirable command of language, should have indicated his dis satisfaction with the terms pure science and applied science, pointing out at the same time that what people call applied science is nothing but the application of pure science to particular classes of prob lems. The terms are still employed, pos sibly because, after all, they may be the best ones to use, or perhaps our ideas, to which these expressions are supposed to conform, have not yet become sufficiently definite to have called forth the right words.

It is not the purpose of this address, how ever, to suggest better words or expres sions, but rather to direct attention to cer tain important relations between purely scientific research and industrial scientific research which are not yet sufficiently understood.
