Healthy Research Competition

Abstract

"As a scientist it seems to me that it is vitally important that we keep a number of competing groups busy in the field of both pure and applied science in order that we may develop to the maximum the potentialities of our industrial age. These groups must be large enough and powerful enough to have available the resources of mod ern techniques for research and development, but they should be diverse enough and numerous enough so that there is real technological and scientific competition."
