今年有十個科學團體,在南京舉行聯合年會,這是一件盛事。在聯合年會前兩個星期,中央研究院才舉行過院士會議,在那個會裏,他們提出了學術獨立的口號。以我個人的看法,學術界同仁,雖向着學術獨立這條路上走去,這意思就是說,我國要有獨立發展的數學、物理、化學、動物學、植物學、地質學、地理學、天文學、氣象學等;然而國内的環境却促使學術孤立起來,這意思就是說政府和民間,給他們的同情和援助,實在太微薄了。在中央研究院院士會議之前,九月初北平研究院亦舉行過該院全國性的第二屆學術會議。在 This year there are ten scientific groups holding a joint annual meeting in Nanjing. This is a grand event. Two weeks before the joint annual meeting, the Academia Sinica held academician conferences, during which they proposed the slogan of academic independence. In my opinion, academic colleagues, going toward academic independence, means that China needs independent development in mathematics, physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, geology, geography, astronomy Meteorology, etc. However, the domestic environment has impeded academic isolation. This means that it is too feeble for the government and people to give them sympathy and assistance. Peking University Academy of Sciences also held a national second academic conference before the Academia Sinica academician conference in early September. in
