Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Historical Plant Geography The editors of chronica botanica are under obligations to Dr. H. M. Raup, of the Arnold Arboretum, and to Dr. And Mrs. Stanley A. Cain, of the University of Tennessee, for their assistance and advice in preparing the present text for the press. The appearance of this volume at this time emphasizes the fact that science is not limited by international boundaries and that the work of one investigator prosecuted in one country under one regime, contrib utes materially to the advancement of knowledge in all countries. I should like to quote a statement of Mr. Raymond fosdick in a recent report of the Rockefeller Foundation: In the shadows that are deepen ing over Europe the lights of learning are fading one by one. The conception of knowledge as an international responsibility has vanished. The free flow of ideas across boundary lines between laboratories and universities had dried up. Elsewhere the exigencies of war have erased the opportunities for intellectual and cultural life as that term was understood a few years ago. And yet, in spite of the war, and in Spite of the fact that the U. S. S. R. Has suffered most grievously, it has been possible to provide for the English translation of the present volume in Russia, and its publication in the United States of America.
