no desire to use in my own behalf the

Miller and Mr.. Heller shared my feel

sFWhile studying In Germany had
observed the rather close relations that
existed between the small colleges
there and the business men OF the
country. Professors. working in OBJ
scure laboratories. often made dis
coyeries of great value to the manu-
featuring Industries These discoveries
helped Germany at home and abroad,
and I believe that the same sort OF
cooperation in this country between
science and business would be Of equal
value to our people. But there were
dangers to be avoided. Our colleges
and universities, thought. would not
be strengthened were they to be domf-
mated or Influenced by business cor

given to the public. In that way our
national development would be pro-
NOTED and the workers in our college
and university laboratories would pc

turn our patents over to the Untver-

that some other and larger plan
would be better. So the subject was
brought to the attention OF the Smitn-
sonian Institution, q really national or
ganixation, and after two years OF de-
liberation Its officers accepted our
proposal.
$50 600 Our patents were on paying
basis, The future was fun of promise.
On our part we asked that we be re-
imbursed for our outlay and that the
money received for the use OF the
patents be devoted to the carrying on
Of the work Of scientific research. A
corporation was organized by the
Smithsonian Institution. Eminent
men of business and Of science agreed
to act as officers and directors. They
are administering the patents with
energy and ability and have already
accumulated q fund Of more than
100000.
