...This truism, Professor Karl Taylor Compton of Princeton (brother of Arthur Holly Compton) elaborated only last month at the Founder's Day exercises of Lehigh University. Said he: "Inventors in this country have always been popular idols. We tell young school children about the inventions of Robert Fulton, Eli Whitney and Thomas Edison. We have been blessed by a number of men who had the spark of genius to conceive of a steamboat, a cotton gin, a dynamo or an incandescent lamp and numerous other machines and processes on which so much of life today depends.
