Universities, Research and Brain Waste (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Universities, Research and Brain Waste It is my desire first of all to thank you for the honour which you have conferred on me by electing me your President for the year now beginning. The two years past have been prosperous ones under the Presidency of Dr. J. Murray Clark. Many new members have joined and the attendance at the meetings has appreciably increased. The Institute has carried on its propaganda for research both in regard to its application to industry and on the purely scientific side. In its campaign it has been aided by a succession of eminent lecturers from the United States. The activities of the Institute will continue to be directed by the same policy as hitherto and I may say that arrange ments have been made for a group of exceptionally able men to lecture under its auspices in Toronto during the coming winter. With your permission I shall now turn my attention to the con Sideration of the subject which I have selected for my address this evening - Universities, Research and Brain Waste.
