Abstract
IN so far as it will be concerned with realistic study of contemporary issues, the new Institute of Economic and Social Research under the direction of Prof. N. F. Hall, the formation of which was announced in NATURE of January 8, is a venture which has the warm support of many scientific workers. The joint contributions of the Halley Stewart Trust, the Pilgrim Fund, the Leverhulme Fund and the Rockefeller Foundation should guarantee enough for starting a modest programme, which will rehabilitate the prestige of social research in Great Britain, if the personnel and problems are wisely chosen.
