Extract

At a time like the present, when the Empire we have inherited stands facing a crisis of its fate, when indeed the whole structure of civilization as we know it has seemed to sway, when that which generations of earnest thinkers have dreamt of as the progress of the race recoils before the forces it has itself unchained, it is difficult to restrain a feeling of incongruity in discussing any subject that has no obvious bearing on the greater problems of the hour. But I am convinced that we are following the right course in carrying on, with such help as remains available, the work of this Association, whose object is the advancement of Science, Literature and Art. In the short, swift cataracts of war, no less than in the gentler, steadier flow of peace, these matters of the mind have still their power.
