Do Scientists
Use Scientific Method?
First of four talks by Stepher Toulmin
Lecturer in the Philosophy of Science in the University of Oxford
'As a scientist put it recently: " It's very nice when philosophers congratulate me on what I'm doing; the pity is I never recognise their description of it." ' Stephen Toulmin examines the contrast between the accounts of science and scientific method given in books on logic and philosophy, and the activities and arguments of working scientists.

The Harvey Phillips
String Orchestra
(Leader. Hugh Bean )
Conductor, Harvey Phillips
' The Cearne ' (pronounced Serne) is the name of Harvey Phillips' home in Kent. Gordon Jacob wrote the Sinfonietta specially for this orchestra (which performed it for the first time two years ago) and dedicated it to Harvey Phillips and his wife, Pamela Harrison. It is in three movements: the first is quick and vigorous, the second slow and reflective, and the last begins energetically but ends on a quiet note, recalling some of the themes from the other two movements.
