ANDRADE: ' Science in the Modern World
—1, Science in the Home'
THE present era of history is frequently termed the era of scientific industrialism. The methods by which science is applied to the framework of modern civilization form the subject of a series of talks by Professor Andrado, of which this evening's is the first. Professor
Andrade was for some years Physics Professor at the Artillery College, Woolwich. Recently he has been appointed to the Quain Chair of Physics in the University of London. Listeners may already know his clearly-written book on ' Eugenics.' His subject tonight is science as embodied in almost every commonplace utensil about the house, and domestic civilization as the direct result of the scientific method.
