Abstract
As years count, little more than a generation has passed since Huxley died. Prof. A. V. Hill's Huxley Memorial lecture on “The International Status and Obligations of Science” (see NATURE, Dec. 23, pp. 952–954), while stressing the world's debt to Huxley for his vindication of intellectual freedom, reminded us, if any reminder were needed, that since the War, in far less than a generation, indeed in a period of a little more than the last ten years, we have seen the making of a new world, the world of the dictator, in which the spirit is as alien to that of Huxley's day as was the spirit of the Middle Ages.
