The Fifth Era: 1935-1939
and the War Years
Society of Arts and Science
During the years 1935 to 1939, Walter Russell and Thomas J. Watson
continued the work, but during the war years, there was almost complete
cessation of the work, though every year Thomas J. Watson held a large
meeting at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, attended by about five
thousand people, at which Walter Russell would give the banquet
address.
1935, Alexis Carrel publishes Man, the Unknown
|
|
French-American surgeon Alexis Carrell was the winner of the 1912 Nobel
Prize in medicine, for his pioneer transplant work at the University of
Chicago and with the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
Man, the Unknown was reprinted in America fifty times after the
first publication, and was translated into eighteen languages.
“The science of man will be the task for the future. Man must now
turn his attention to himself. The development of the science of man,
even more than that of the other sciences, depends on immense
intellectual effort. We must realize clearly that the science of man is
the most difficult of all sciences. Science, which has transformed the
material world, gives man the power of transforming himself. To
progress again, man must remake himself.”
