Excerpt from Science, Vol. 1 The progress of science in any age is determined largely by the circumstances of its environment. The soil in which it is rooted, the atmosphere from which it draws the materials of its life, and the stimulus of light and heat which it receives, all have a strong determining influence upon its growth. Nowhere, probably, has this influence of the surroundings been more potent than in our own land. The intense activity of our people, the high intellectual, commercial, and social pressure under which they live, their enthusiastic interest in scientific knowledge and the generous liberality with which they foster it, - all these agencies have had a powerful influence in creating the position which American science assumes to-day. We may not, indeed, boast of a scientific record as full and complete as that of other countries; but we may and should take an honest pride in the achievements in pure science which we have already actually accomplished. The names of Agassiz and of Peirce, of Bache, Henry, and Draper, of Hare and Silliman, of Bond, Watson, and Chauveuet, of Rittenhouse and Saxton, of Rogers, Hitchcock, and Cleaveland, are worthy to be enrolled high up in the temple of scientific fame. The work done by these men iu the direction of original research will ever stand the test of time, and will always keep their memories green. The leading feature of American science, however, and that which most distinctively characterizes it, is its utilitarianism. True, there are in our country able investigators working in scientific fields which do not offer the promise of material reward: but notwithstanding this, it remains still true that those sciences whose principles are capable of useful application are the most zealously cultivated among us, and attract the largest number of students. Nor is this to be at all regretted. Research is none the less genuine, investigation none the less worthy, because the truth it discovers is utiliz.
