Abstract
AN account of the opening of the new building of the Department of Applied Statistics and Eugenics at University College, London, presented by Sir Herbert Bartlett, was given in last week's NATURE. The speech made by Prof. Karl Pearson in seconding the vote of thanks to the donor contains certain truths which have a wider application than to the immediate audience, and we therefore reproduce it in the hope that it will help to force the present difficult situation of the universities upon the attention of the public.
