“Effective science began when it passed from the occasional amateur into the hands of men who made the winning of knowledge their special function or profession.”
— William Wickenden —
It is this ideal of progress through cumulative effort rather than through genius-progress by organised effort, progress which does not wait for some brilliant stroke, some lucky discovery, or the advent of some superman, has been the chief gift of science to social philosophy.

Effective science began when it passed from the occasional amateur into the hands of men who made the winning of knowledge their special function or profession.
— William Wickenden
The essence of modernity is that progress no longer waits on genius; instead we have learned to put our faith in the organized efforts of ordinary men. Science is as old as the race, but the effective organization of science is new. Ancient science, like placer mining, was a pursuit of solitary prospectors. Nuggets of truth were found, but the total wealth of knowledge increased slowly. Modern man began to transform this world when he began to mine the hidden veins of knowledge systematically.
