Abstract

Research: From Genesis to Revelation The Inaugural Address of the 223rd Session ofthe Society was given by PROFESSOR JOHN McMICHAEL of the Hammersmith Postgraduate Medical School. Before a large audience he spoke of the conditions under which research is initiated and finally brought to fruition. The general climate of opinion is important and he instanced Padua at the time of the Renaissance. Here Harvey was launched on his career in a University which housed Galileo, Yesalius and Fabricius. By contrast in our own time, Hitler had destroyed more thoroughly than he knew the scientific spirit in Germany. Americain medicine and Russia in the physical sciences were today taking the lead because of abundant support from national funds.
