Abstract
MUCH of the more important subject matter of the annual report of the Medical Research Council recently published, and. dealt with elsewhere in this issue (p. 598), was brought to public notice by the newspapers as occasion arose. The establishment at University College Hospital of a department of clinical research is an example. Scientific results achieved or foreshadowed during the year under review were many and valuable, and to be able to say of such a year that it “illustrates the general features that have marked the progress of modern medical investigation throughout the world during the present generation” is an indication of solid attainment. Nevertheless, there are two sides to progressprogress in discovery and progress in organisationand the phrase quoted is strictly relevant to an argument concerning the machine and its design rather than its output.
