Machine summary:
The Presidential address by Dr. Sunderlal Hora, summarising results of deep reflection on the wide range of the problems involved, was listened to with attention, but the striking feature of the assembly was the grip of science on the imagination of the rising generation, dazed and dazzled by the latest conquests in this field and moved by new stirrings.
Hence also the value of' the wise words which· crowded into the picture at the session of the Indian Science Congress at Hyderabad, lending colour to the hope that the conscience of mankind will in the long run, assert itself on the lines suggested by the Prime Minister, and things will not slide to a stage where science, nourished overcenturies, will bring the edifice of human culture toppling down in crash and write its own epitap~.
