Considering the rapid growth and far-reaching scope of Federal activities in science and technology, it is imperative that the President have adequate staff support in developing policies and evaluating programs in order to assure that science and technology are used most effectively in the interests of national security and general welfare.
The National Science Foundation has proved to be an effective instrument for administering sizable programs in support of basic research and education in the sciences and has set an example for other agencies through the administration of its own programs.
Science policies, transcending agency lines, need to be coordinated and shaped at the level of the Executive Office of the President drawing upon many resources both within and outside of Government.

 Science Quotes - The Quotations Page
Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Science and the Church
The words "science" and "Church" are here understood in the following sense: Science is not taken in the restricted meaning of natural sciences, but in the general one given to the word by Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas.
Church, in connexion with science, theoretically means any Church that claims authority in matters of doctrine and teaching; practically, however, only the Catholic Church is in question, on account of her universality and her claim of power to exercise this authority.
The greatest obstacle to anti-Christian science is the Church, which claims Divine origin, authority to teach infallible truth, maintains the inspiration of Scripture, and is confident of her own existence to the end of the world.

 Science and Technology Policy Yearbook: Chapter 27: US Science Policy and Science Advice, 1840-1878
Although Henry never ceased thinking of himself as a research scientist and educator, thereafter his chief roles were those of science administrator and de facto advisor to both the executive and legislative branches of government on all aspects of science and technology.
Although some Administrations were more friendly to science than others (the Fillmore Administration was particularly active scientifically), it was often the individual Secretary who decided the role of science in his area of responsibility.

 Science Quotes
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is not formal logic–it needs the free play of the mind in as great a degree as any other creative art.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

James Dwight Dana (1813-1895) published a series of articles in the American Journal of Science presenting his ideas on "cephalization," which related to his theory of the progress of species through the increasing importance of the brain, a manifestation of Dana's interest in finding design in nature.

 CHAPTER ONE: The Sciences and the Curriculum
In order to judge better the curricular developments in the sciences taught at Williams in its first century, it is helpful first to have in mind a basic outline of some of the highlights of science and technology in America during that period.
One of the most effective proponents of furthering the development of science at Williams was Albert Hopkins '26 (1807-1872), younger brother of Mark Hopkins, and tutor and professor of mathematics, natural philosophy, and astronomy from 1828.
It is also worth noting that in general, science and technical subjects account for about 10% of all books published, so that the 16% proportion of Williams library holdings in 1852, let alone the 22% in 1875, revealed an already exceptional commitment to scientific knowledge.

 Children’s Magazines and Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
Perhaps predictably, given the absence of science from the curriculum in girls’ schools and in the focusing on home accomplishments that characterised almost all the magazines for girls, there was very little science in their pages.
As awareness of the need for more science in the curriculum in the 1870s permeated down to schools, so children’s magazines were able to present scientific information in a manner which made it possible for young readers to enjoy simple and safe experiments.
Suitable texts for teaching science were produced, as well as a number of treatise on practical chemistry.
