JOSEF ALBERS, A Pair of Structural Constellations: A Matter of Changing Viewpoints

We plunge forward into the field of fresh experience with the beliefs our ancestors and we have made already; these determine what we notice; what we notice determines what we do; what we do again determines what we experience; so from one thing to another, although the stubborn fact remains that there is a sensible flux, what is true of it seems from first to last to be largely a matter of our own creation.

WILLIAM JAMES

I still believe in the possibility of producing a model of reality--that is to say, a theory which will represent things themselves.

ALBERT EINSTEIN

And the pursuit whose quest is Nature's understanding, has this among its rewards, that as it progresses its truth is testable. Truth is a "value." The quest itself therefore is in a measure its own satisfaction. We receive the lesson that our advance to knowledge is of asymptotic type, even as continually approaching so continually without arrival. The satisfaction shall therefore be eternal.

CHARLES S. SHERRINGTON
