ce. although representing different
attitude towards nature, are not
destructive and indeed
may be complimentary. Sir Richard
'Gregory, president of the Science
i Masters Association, believes.
It is commonly assumed, he said
[in a lecture to the association, that
devotion to science is calculated
to breed indifference to the charms
of nature and destroys the aesthe-
tic veil, "which gives nature both
I mystery and beauty."
"Yet Coleridge said that lie at-
I tended lectures at the Royal in-
stitute for the purpose of increas-
ing his stock of metaphors," said
Sir Richard. And—
"No poet lias surpascd Tenny-
son in the application of scientific
'truth to poetic purpose, or in his
)wealth of allusions arising out of
a knowledge of nature's operations
and laws. Interest In scientific stu-
dies increased the poet's range of
selection and opened his eyes to
'new phenomena and ideas."
The supercilious attitude of dis-
regard for science which classical
scholars sometimes adopt is a ves-
punish lyge of social snobbery which will
Idisappear in the course of time,
Sir Richard said.
