Abstract
The unusual title does not indicate an interest in Pharmaceuticals-just an overwhelming conviction that success in research, development, and, particularly, application depends as much on men as on the materials or new techniques tested. The hypothesis will be illustrated by case histories with which the lecturer has been closely associated and where the human factors can be identified without any recourse to statistical methods. These range from the true density of pure magnesia to the origins of the sea water magnesia process.
