In these days when many societies and scientific organizations are conferring awards and according honors to their members, it seems customary for the recipient to assume a substantial degree of nonchalance or sophistication, and to accept these honors with supreme self-confidence. In the present instance, however, and with all due respect to the selecting Committee, for me to assume such self-confidence would be not only indecorous but hypocritical as well. Therefore, without any attempt at such sophistication may I express my sincere gratitude and thanks to the Society, and to the sponsors of the Memorial Lecture, for this honor, and for this opportunity to share with you some thoughts pertinent to my field of principal interest. |
