Excerpt from Nature and Nurture, the Problem of the Future: A Presidential Address Delivered by Karl Pearson, F. R. S. At the Annual Meeting of the Social and Political Education League, April 28, 1910, With Two Plates of Pedigrees

That lesson was the experience I gained as a lecturer for this League some thirty years ago. It took me, as a slow thinker, several years to learn it, and very little return I made for that to me inestimable knowledge. Brieﬂy, this is what I learnt I am endeavouring to help, where I am really ignorant. These men ask me as to. The facts of human life and I reply with theory and dogma. The university has omitted the great essential for social work - a concrete study of man. We have yet to collect the data upon which such a study can be based - the very calculus by which it can be analysed has yet to be invented.

Excerpt from Nature and Nurture, the Problem of the Future: A Presidential Address Delivered by Karl Pearson, F. R. S. At the Annual Meeting of the Social and Political Education League, April 28, 1910, With Two Plates of Pedigrees

When I was requested last year to take up the very honourable office of President of the Social and Political Education League, my thoughts naturally turned on how I could best fulfil my function as your annual lecturer. My reminiscences of the League extended back to thirty years ago, when, fresh from the University, I was a member and a frequent lecturer at the various working-men's clubs, political, social, and occasionally revolutionary, which then abounded in London. Looking back on that period now, it still appears to me one of very great intellectual activity. Clifford was only just dead, Huxley was still in the fighting line, Karl Marx was finishing Das Kapital and organizing outpost skirmishes of the revolutionary party. It was possible to be present, if not to assist, at the birth of the Social Democratic Federation; or, again, to hear a little later the mournful farewell of the Brotherhood of the Common Life, when a section of their comrades preferred the Fabian policy of discussing to that of practising socialism. Much has survived from that day, something has gone under. But it still seems to me to have been a period of exceptional intellectual activity and very widespread enthusiasms.
