Great laboratories have a rather serious defect, in that they tend to make all but the very best students helpless, and thus to dwarf their powers of resource and inventiveness. The mass of scientific work is undoubtedly enormously increased by these institutions, but the number of really great investigators seems to remain almost unaffected by them.
