Furthermore, it augurs well for future success that the Institute does not act on the basis of sentimental humanitarianism, but rather from a scientific interest in social welfare. There are and will be many obstacles in its road, including the ponderous weight of a legal mechanism that is very difficult to change; but the Institute's willingness...
