Talk by Norwood Russell Hanson
Lecturer in Philosophy of Science in the University of Cambridge and Fellow of St. John's College
The scientist's education is said to be insufficiently humanised, too narrow, too specialised; it makes him inarticulate in discussions with laymen. Some educators recommend liberal applications of Culture as a cure. Against this, Mr. Hanson suggests giving the scientist a fuller understanding of his own subject through its history and philosophy.

Professor of Economics. Stellenbosch University
It is commonly assumed that the apartheid policy will meet an insuperable obstacle in South Africa's need for the continuance of African labour in industrial centres. Professor Sadie, who supports the apartheid policy, believes that the Government has already provided, in theory, a solution to this problem, and examines the likelihood of the theory coming to pass in fact.
