This unfortunate beginning, however, is rectified by the featured article, "The Revolution in science," by J. w. N. Sullivan.

Not sufficiently accurate, perhaps, to conform to the standards of Professor Whitehead, it is clearly written and stimulates the reader's thought; it is an excellent introduction to the rather febrile speculations which have grown...
