SIR OLIVER LOOSE
THE FUTURE OF MAH ENORMOUS POSSIBILITIES Press Association—By Telegraph-Copyright. LONDON, October 23 Sir Oliver Lodge, in his inaugural lecture at Westfield College, where his sister Eleanor is the principal, said: “ Ultimate realities cannot be weighed and measured in laboratories. What occupies tho attention of the poet and the artist is more real than the tilings which science studies. I look forward to tlie time when the average man will attain such heights as Shakespeare, Plato, and Newton. Then there will bo even higher peaks. Man lias not been civilised long, and is not yet quite civilised. The possibilities in front of the race are enormous. The world is now so small and knit together that it is no longer a place of international animosities.” He concluded with the remark: “The more we are together the happier we shall Ire.”
