The greatest attainment in the world of humanity has ever been scientific in nature. It is the discovery of the realities of things. The highest praise is due to men who devote their energies to science, and the noblest center is a center wherein the sciences and arts are taught and studied.
Science ever tends to the illumination of the world of humanity.
It is the cause of eternal honor to man, and its sovereignty is far greater than the sovereignty of kings. Consider the philosophers of former times. Their rule and dominion is still manifest in the world. They are forgotten and rest in the valley of oblivion. It is evident that the sovereignty of science is greater than the dominion of rulers.
