Dr. Waterman Relates Background
Of National Science Foundation
me National science foundation. (
in one sense, is a symbol of science !
in our national life, just as the j
new Science building is a symbol
of man's aspiration toward the !
still-beckoning horizons of science.
Alan T. Waterman, director of the j
foundation, said Friday night in
the puncipal address of the week
end's science building dedication
ceremonies.
Waterman, rrlating the back
ground. purpose and activity of the
foundation, told of its being born
fiom a call by the late Franklin D.
Roosevelt for a suggestion to chan
nel the national scientific efforts
into peacetime uses for the ad
vancement of national welfare.
Roosevelt had said. “New fron

He started his career officially
in 1942, playing the new Khatcha- i
turian number, “Soviet-Armenian
Concert,” which he performed so i
many times afterwards that he was l
nicknamed “Khatchaturian Ka
pell." a name he had trouble living i
down thereafter. Kapell has also
done his share of touring of Eu-1
iope. Australia, New Zealand and:
South America.
British Historian Arnold Toynbee
To Lecture Here Tuesday, Thursday
Tuesday and Thursday will be
significant days for students,
scholars and townspeople who be
lieve there is something more to
history than a date, a place and a
battle.
For on these two days, at S p.m.,
Arnold J. Toynbee, world-renown
student of history himself, lectures
at McArthurco urt. On Tuesday it
will be "Encounters Between Civil
izations” and on Thursday, “The
Lessons of History.”
“A Study of History”
Toynbee, who will be sponsored
by the University lectures and 75th
anniversary committees, is in the
United States at present to con
tinue work on his "A Study of His
tory,” an undertaking which has
b#en compared to both "Tire De
cline and Fall of the Roman Em
piro” and "The Decline of the
West.”
He is currently working at the
Institute for Advanced Study at
Princeton. The first three volumes
of "A Study of History" were pub
lished in 1934; the second three in
1939.
History Philosopher
The British historian, "A man
of tremendous significance . . . and
probably the greatest living philos
opher of history," according to
Gordon Wright, acting head of the
history department here, has visit
ed the United States several times
on lecture engagements in recent
years.
One of his recent books accord
ing to the Journal of Modern His
tory, "suggests the enormous
scholarship, the faculty of looking
at the past with innocent eyes and
from fresh angles, the power of
striking, poetic and suggestive
statement" by the author.
The historian, said Science and
Society, is "not concerned with hu
man society in general, but with
that peculiar manifestation of it
which we call civilization.”
He advocates, according to Time
magazine, that "the pressure of
outside challenge produces a civili
zation's strongest responses.”
Other Factors Important
He has said that psyhic and
spiritual factors are more import- j
ant in history than material fac- i
tors, the magazine continues, and 1
that "active working Christianity”
is necessary to combat commun- j
ism.
Toynbee docs not believe a third I
world war is imminent and that
Russian pressure may stimulate
the West to improve along its own
lines.
J
tiers ot me mind are before us,
and if they are pioneered with the
same vision, boldness, and drive,
with which we have waged this
war. we can create a fuller and
more fruitful employment and a
fuller and more fruitful life."
Waterman pointed out that un
til the passage of the act creating
the foundation in 1950 there had
never been a federal agency to de
velop an over-all national science
policy, to encourage and support
basic research as distinguished
from applied or special purpose re
search and to encourage national
science education.
”.\t tract and Hold"
"One of the most serious ques
tions confronting education today
is the need to attract and hold an
adequate number of teachers in
every field," Waterman stated.
Waterman said the fellowship
program is important not only as
a long-range effort to increase the
number of highly-trained scien
tists who play so important a part
in today's world, but also as a
means of alleviating quickly what
appears to be a critical and cur
rent shortage of scientists and en
gineers.
Effort Two-fold
The effort is two-fold, he said,
providing financial assistance in
the form of fellowships and a pro
gram of research education design
ed to strengthen the teaching of
science.
Turning to the research field, the
foundation director said his orga
nization is the only federal re
search for its own sake in the fields
of science.
"It is important to realize." Wa
terman asserted, “that in the na
tional interest, whether in normal
times or during an emergency, the
frontier of science itself must be
pushed forward.”
Purpose of the foundation, he
said, is "to promote the progress
of science: to advance the national
health, prosperity, and welfare; to
secure the national defense, and
for other purposes.”

Kay. Alan Waterman, head of the
National Science Foundation, aruf*
Charles D. Bryne, chancellor of the
state system of higher education-•
laud the building as a step for.vaid
in the educational process.
McKay described the building a*1
partial fulfillment of higher educa
tion s debt to society, a means to
an end with the ultimate goal to
produce better citizens.
Waterman said that the new
building would aid in filling tho
great need for scientists in re
searcb. teaching and administra
tion in "one of the last frontiers'*
the world has’’—science.
Chancellor Bryne said that the
building was "not an expenditure
but an investment which will re
turn laige dividends to the State
of Oregon." He called it "the first
real science building the Univer
sity has ever had" and stated that,
in its production of scientists anil
research, it might well assume a
value 100 times greater than its
original cost.
Other speakers at the dedication,
which was carried over Eugene
radio stations, were Edga: W.
Smith, president of the state bear**
of higher education: and William
'C. Jones, dean of admiistratibn.
