ENDOWING RESEARCH WORKERS
Research was essential for increased medical and surgical knowledge, said the Earl of Athlone in opening a new range of laboratories for the Royal College of Surgeons. By that knowledge the greatest benefit might be secured for the greatest number by improving methods of preventing and treating disease. It was comparatively easy to provide laboratories, Lord Athlone continued, but it was not so easy to find men of genius to work in them. When they did find such men it was their duty to provide them with every facility for their work, and what lie feared was sometimes neglected, the wherewithal to live without financial anxiety, not only during their active work but in their years of retirement. He had always urged that there should lie adequate endowment to provide for those scientific men who gave their lives to the service of mankind by devoted, and patient research.
