opktus University alimore Barylan The Chazles BJ N Charles Street April Mr Walter S iogers Institute Current World Affairs New York City Aew York Rogers I found Gauss The Threat Science stimulatig thank sending In connection I pesumptions because thought second ments harmless The article comes I privilege listening lecture Dr illikan Hopkins Cosmic which I frank passed mostly beyond mental perfphera It comes I stimulating experince listening taking modest Fart extremely frank discussions Dr illlkan scientist luncheons Faculty Club Needless lecture granting mathematical knowlede served support Nobel Prize Committee which honorable mention among great scientists world physicists The lecture evidence however credit Dr lllikan achievements achieved which achieved other measurers The luncheon discussions raising question greatness scientist matter I quite content accept opinions several scientists including quotation Dr ickelson In short Dr llikan known mnong those field sanefnat jammer which fails sufficient storm scientists social scientists impending As I quite content Dr illiken ability wants I Dr RIillikan article Feb ribners referred Gauss Assuredly I would accept Dean Gmus editing poses But quotations gives comments ventured In I Dea Gaus article sound points I think occasional injustice Dr millikan The academic inclined understands things Bohr Einstein theory That

include philosophers Spinoza refused chair Heidelberg among those mirted academic Whe opkins Universily lallimore Barylatti Dean Gaus discussion science acceptable I doubt objected academic including Dr illikan The called scientist whose field exact sciences knows better social scientist science I growing truth mathematics beyond makes exact prone think There lately signs quarters science increasi pretensions insisting accepted preceptor humanity matters morals Here I think traitional sentence which hopes develop thesis enable spike Dr llillikan So I accept unreservedly Philosophy I thinly remain fascinating tiversion measuring clined Of course sience substitute philosophy igion matter I quotations Dr illikan Sastifics presumption Natua Where Dean suggests polit science science political philosophy I aminterested No preessor political science range contact prsumes exact science thouh agree Dean Gaus struggle perhaps atilely toward measurement wherever possible Know inadequacy questionnaire method better called political scientist experience In whimsically titled Schouler lecture titled anchuria A Dangerous L _boratory World Politics might vious dangerous

loose scientist That exactly Dean Gnus would accept would molly coddle scientist would destroy formulae exterminatehnkind Then Dean Gsus having started perhaps fallacious ration Dr Millikan thesis pceeds If accept Mr illikan learn Socrates Christ Oonfucius St Francis Washington hopelessly unscientific aside quite misleading guides This unfair Dr Millikan perhaps ficient thesis lrposes cosumption unwary reader Then Dean Gnus conmits slight error presumi thate student humanities historians disagree whether wisdom consists adapting onesself present environment The business histor relate historical facts those facts should preclude taking encourage Fortunate Gibon Decline Fal___l Macaulay works interestir4 reading Dean Gnus after quoting Millikan refused admit necessary alternative science savagery Millikan I think careless phraseology conscious write scientists philosophe financiers wishers Did Dr Mill savagery without science necessarily without moral philosophies livingl alternative science If platitude impossible refute llikan holds stayed relentless advance science powerful enemy Here hypothesi Vho right wrong Dean Gnus attempts refutcit himself giving
