Let us go forward, then, with confidence in the dignity of our pursuit. Let us hold our heads high with a pure conscience while we seek the truth, and may the American Physical Society do its share now and in generations yet to come in trying to unravel the great problem of the constitution and laws of the Universe.
HENRY A. ROWLAND.
[1]Address delivered to the Physical Society of America by the President, at its meeting in New York, October 28, 1899.
