The progress of science presupposes the possibility of unrestricted communication of all results and judgments--freedom of expression and instruction in all realms of intellectual endeavor. The freedom of communication is indispensable for development and extension of scientific knowledge. Such an ideal must be sought unremittingly if scientific thought, and philosophical and creative thinking in general, are to be advanced as far as possible.
