SIXTH HONORARY MEMBERSHIP 137 The New York Academy of Sciences has a diversified and an all-inclusive interest in Science. Its activity represents a richness in experience in bringing together the leaders in thought in a single objective of higher learning. Through the Academy there has been a new opening in the frontiers of learning and a common understanding in applying basic knowl- edge and thought to the benefit of humanity. The benefits and luxuries of our modern civilization have been largely gained by laying aside me- dieval prejudices or preconceived notions born of ignorance and replac- ing these with a liberal exchange of knowledge and thought. The meet- ings sponsored by the Academy bear proof of their progressive and varied achievement of professional competence. Specialists working alone can become so engrossed in the specialization of their interest that they overlook the broad picture of progress that sur- rounds them. Within dynamic organizations the exchange of thought leads to a stimulated interest of ultimate benefit to the welfare of man- kind. As you know, our association with the Academy not only provides a centralization of activity, a home and headquarters, but it brings with it the assistance of a co-ordinated competent administration that has a definite interest in the advancement of science. Mrs. Miner is outstanding in her ability to understand the human side of scientific activities and organizations and inspire her fellow scientists to new and better achievements. Her particular interest in science as an instrument for bringing about a richer esthetic life is exemplified by her assistance in the advancement of the SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS. Mrs. Miner is officially the Executive Director of the Academy, but those of us privileged to know her personally regard her as the catalyst and indeed the personification of the Academy itself. We are indeed grateful for the privilege of your organization's shelter, the encouragement and guidance, and for the comfort of your fireplace where we share in the warmth of scientific companionship and prestige.
