TT was in the February Of 1865 that

The International had been founded
on the 28th of September, 1864 at the
meeting in St. Martins Hall: I came
from Paris in order to bring him re-
port of our progress; and our young
connection was made in that same
place Mr.. TOlain, now senator of the
bourgeois republic and one OF its
representatives at the Berlin confer
ence, had given me letter of recon-
mendation.
l was "a years old then; my whole
lie long, shall not forget the impress
sion which that first visit made on
me. Marx was suffering at the time
and working on the first volume of
Capital" which did not appear until
two years later; he feared that he
would not be able to complete his
work; and he received young people
with pleasure, for, said he, 81 must
bring up men who will continue the
Communist propaganda after me-"
Karl Marx is one Of those rare
people who could, at the same time,
stand in the front rank of both sci
ence and public activity; he combined
them so ardently that 1t is impos-
sible to understand him unless we
conceive Of him as a scholar as well
as a socialist fighter. If he was of
the opinion that every science should
be cultivated for its own sake and
that in no scientific investigation
must one be concerned about ultimate
consequences, he also believed that
the scholar must never cease to par
ticipate actively in public life if he
did not wish to degrade himself; and
must not always remain confined to
his room OF laboratory like rat to its
cheese without mingling in the life
and the social and political struggles
Of his contemporaries.
Science must not be an egoistic
pleasure: those who are so fortunate
as to be able to dedicate themselves
to scientific purposes should also be
the first to place their knowledge in
the service OF mankind. ITO work
