CHOICE AFTER A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY

Student

Who would want to spend his life dancing a minuet before assembled science reporters? There are still people who do not wish to join the noise boys; they have other concerns. When you start on something new you are all alone and it is terribly dark; and then suddenly, you come face to face with the blinding whiteness of reality. There is nothing more exquisite, nothing rarer in the world. Afterward you have a choice: You stay in the laboratory hoping it will happen again—it seldom does—or you begin to travel through the country giving minstrel shows.
