Through the inventions of science I can do what was not possible for any of them. I can make my solemn act of dedication with a whole Empire listening. I should like to make that dedication now. It is very simple.

Science should be on tap, not on top.

The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.

The wars fanned the wings of science, and science brought to mankind a thousand blessings, a thousand problems and a thousand perils.

We desire to see the return of a liberal age where Parliaments will guard freedom, where science will open the banqueting halls to the millions, and where what Bismarck once called "practical Christianity" will mitigate suffering and misfortunes.

Science bestowed immense new powers on man, and at the same time, created conditions which were largely beyond his comprehension.
