Extract

Some of my distinguished predecessors have ably dealt in their Presidential addresses with questions that are most closely related to the aims of our Association, namely, the teaching of Mathematics in Schools. Others have sought to speak on subjects in which they were actively interested. I have followed this precept and accordingly I propose to address you upon a subject closely related to my own scientific interests, namely, the exploration of our universe. Naturally, I cannot claim to speak with authority over its whole range.
