THE WORLD'S 10 MOST IMPORTANT MEN -
TIIKKK are ten "key men" in the world of science today
whose death would set hack the progress of civilization for
decades, perhaps for a century. And, curiously enough, they are
so little known to the general public tluit the average ma n
probably could not name three of them.
This is the thesis of Dr. E. E. Free, who selects the "ten
most important men in science" in the current issue of The
Xorth American Review.
Kdison and Kinstein, and such men as Pavlov, Michelsnn
and Mason, are not included in this list because, in Dr. Kree's
opinion, they have already made their chief contributions to
science, or because they have put aside personal research and
experimentation for administrative duties. Dr. Frees list con
sists of the men whose present activities, in his belief, hold the
greatest hope for the advancement of human welfare.
HIS list of men whose death "would mean an almost irrepa
rable loss" are :
Dr. Werner lleisenbero; of the Cuiversity of Gottinjren, ami
ProT. X filbert N. Lewi of the Cuiversity of California, both
counted upon to carry on the work of Kinstein in mathematical
physics, a field which holds forth such stupendous possibilities
as that of converting matter into power.
Dr. Albert W. ITull, One ml Klectrie Company research en
gineer nnd an outstanding figure in the development of the
radio vacuum tube. Dr. Free suggests that the vacuum tube, as
a transmitter of power, is "likely to dominate the technology
of the next two decades as the motor has dominated the past
two.''
Dr. Harvey C. Kentschler of the Ycstinuhonse Lamp Works,
whose mastery of photo-electric cells may lead to "untended ma
chines to do our manufacturing or control our transportation."
Dr. Claude Dornierfi noted aircraft engineer, regarded by
Dr. Forbes ns most likely to introduce revolutionary ideas to
aviation. Dr. Otto Warburg of Cei-many, whost study of living
cells may lead to a solution of the mystery of cancer. F. F.
Lucas of New York, "the only living individual able to operate
perfectly the most powerful microscopic equipment ifl the!
world." !
Dr. Henry II. Clayton. American meteorologist, whose re-i
searches may lead to perfect weather forecasts: made weeks and;
months in advance. Dr. Wolfgang
Dr. Frank H. dewett, whose work
laboratories has produced such
telephone, and the processes for

any of Its branches is as much a
matter of youth as is factory or
office work, athletics or military
life. Of course you ci.n't draw the
limit of youth by counting years,

bed? Why do these wise mpn come from
afar;
Hy what gwttt t spirit s hjjvr 1 lb"Ti'

Whta voice has called them from
their distant land,
To kneel by the side of Thy mar-
ger-throne?
Say! What can be the guiding
hand
That has led them out, o'er th--desert

'TIs the spirit of mankind that
seeks for ihe dawn.
Through the nlgnt of the cen
turies, lost in the past;
'Tis the fire of vision, that guid'.'s
Mm on
O'er the desert nnd mountnin.
through dark valleys vast.
'TIs the spirit of hope that has
seen yon star ray, .
And God, that has placed the stat
in the sky,
That n-.nn will hold faith in the '
coming of day;
Though long o'er the earth, th?
darkness may lie.
And eer as centurves roll on in
their path.
That star will shine on, with its
transparent light,
I'ntll through the mist, in that Ion?
rfterinath,
Men behold the gold glow of the
dnwn-rnys bright. ' .
