CHARGE DENIED
SCIENCE NOT HANDMAID OF FRIGHTFULNESS ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. MEASURES TO STUDY SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS. (Recd This Day, 10.35 a.m.) LONDON, August 17. “Science is not the handmaid of frightfulness,” declared Lord Rayleigh, in his presidential address to the British Association. “The belief that scientists are responsible for the application of their discoveries to warfare is a delusion.” he said. “The trouble is that the world uses discoveries for its own purposes and 'does not accept the advice of scientists as to what those uses should be.” The general committee of the association agreed to establish a new division, to deal with the social and international relations of science and investigate social problems arising from scientific advances.
