Sinopsis
Excerpt from Science in America: Inaugural Address of Dr. John W. Draper, as President of the American Chemical Society; Delivered in Chickering Hall, New York, November 16, 1876
In Europe, the social effect of the use of steam was strikingly marked. Performing mechanical drudgery, it relieved vast numbers of the laboring class, and gave them time to think. It concentrated them in factories and mills. T hose industrial hives were pervaded by literary influences, perhaps not always of a kind that we should approve of. They became the seats of agitation in politics and theology, and while this was the effect on the laboring mass, the owners or capitalists were accumulating enormous fortunes.

Let us consider some of the reasons which would lead us to expect that success, not only for our own, but also for other kindred societies. The field of na' ture is ever widening before us, the harvest is becoming more abundant and tempting, the reapers are more nu mercus. Each year the produce that is garnered ex ceeds that of the preceding. In all directions there is good hope for the future. Perhaps, then, you will listen without impatience for a few minutes this even ing to one of the laborers who has taken part in the toil of the generation now finishing its work, who looks back not without a sentiment of pride on what that generation has done. Who points out to you the duties and rewards that are awaiting you, and wel comes you to your task. Let us look at the prospect before us.
The progress of science among us very largely de pends on two elements: First, on our educational establishments. Second, on our scientific societies. To each of these I propose to direct your attention. And, first, of our colleges.
